Voting texts may be misleading

Posted Oct 31, 2022 6:19 PM

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Text messages being sent to Kansas voters, including some from Hutchinson, may be misleading, if those people wait until election day to vote.

According to screenshots provided to Democratic Rep. Jason Probst that he forwarded to Hutch Post, the text messages appear to direct voters to the Reno County Annex, which is the correct site for advance voting from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday this week and until 7 p.m on Wednesday.

The Annex is also the correct site for Saturday voting this weekend from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., but for most Hutchinson voters, that is not where they would vote if they wait until election day itself.

Most of the Hutchinson precincts vote on election day at the Kansas State Fairgrounds. However, if you don't live in town, or would like to double check where you vote, you can do that at the Kansas Secretary of State's VoterView site.
