Advance voting officially gets underway Monday morning.
Lyon County Clerk Tammy Vopat says all the voting machines are tested and ready for voting, both at the Courthouse and the Fairgrounds Anderson Building. She reminds voters to mask up and social distance, regardless of the location.
Vopat said a lot of people locally were unhappy they couldn’t cast their ballots last week after mistaken comments at the state level saying the advance vote process started Wednesday.
The Courthouse and the Anderson Building are Lyon County’s two options if residents want to vote ahead of the Nov. 3 general election but don’t want to mail a ballot. Voting is from 8 am-5 pm weekdays at the Courthouse the next two weeks and is from 8 am-noon Nov. 2. Hours are different at the Anderson Building: 9 am-4 pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday this week, 9 am-7 pm Wednesday and 8 am-noon Saturday.
Mail ballot applications are due by Oct. 27. Ballots need to be postmarked and sent by Election Day on Nov. 3 and received by Nov. 6 in order to count.
