Advance voting for the November general election continues this week across Kansas, including locally in Salina. Mail ballots are being sent in, and in-office advanced voting continues through election day eve.

Registered voters can cast ballots in person at county election offices, satellite voting locations, or via mail.  The last day to apply for an advanced ballot by mail is Tuesday, October 28th. The last day to vote in advance in person is Monday, November 3rd, at noon.

Voters can cast ballots at the Saline County Clerk’s Office 8 am – 5 pm daily all this week through Friday.  Additionally, the office will be open 10 am – 2 pm Saturday for in person advanced voting.  In person advance voting ends at noon, on Monday, November 3rd.

Saline County Clerk Jamie Doss tells KSAL News so far advance voting has been slow, but steady. As of Monday afternoon 588 people have voted in person at her office, and she has also received 191 ballots in the mail.

According to Doss, about 700 mail in ballots have been sent out. The last day to apply for a ballot by mail is Tuesday, October 28th. To be counted, all mail ballots must be postmarked no later than November 4th. They must be received in the mail by Friday, November 7th at 5 pm. Mail ballots can also be returned in person to Doss’s office, or the drop off box at the Salina City / County Building by 7 pm Election Day Tuesday.

Doss says at the current pace, voter turnout would be just three percent.
