10,109 Reno County residents have voted early in-person by the end of the day Monday, Nov. 4, according to Deputy County Clerk Jenna Fager in an interview with The Hutchinson Tribune.
Fager said the last opportunity to vote before election day Tuesday finished up at the Reno County Annex Monday at noon.
“We do get some people who come here,” Fager said. “By law, we have to close our early voting location at noon the day prior to the election.”
By political affiliation, Fager said 2,227 registered Democrats, 63 Libertarians, 9 No Labels Kansas, 6,370 Republicans, 1,439 Unaffiliated and 1 United Kansas voter have cast their ballots for the general election.
For mail-in ballots, Fager said the county has sent out 889 Democratic ballots, 12 Libertarians, 5 No Labels Kansas, 1,134 Republican, 342 Unaffiliated and 0 United Kansas ballots.
Fager said Saturday’s early voting, which took place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the annex, brought 671 voters to the polls. Two satellite voting locations which took place in October saw 433 voters cast their ballots early.
The final chance for Reno County voters to vote is Tuesday, Nov. 5, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at their designated polling place. Fager said the polling locations and sample ballots can be looked up at voteks.gov, and that voters should bring a photo ID to the polls.
