Lyon County’s 2020 general election officially comes to an end Monday.
The vote canvass takes place in the County Courthouse and will certify the results of all county races. With over 300 provisional ballots to count, there will not be enough votes to possibly flip any major results. This means Jeff Longbine will be re-elected to the Kansas Senate 17th District and Mark Schreiber will be re-elected to the Kansas House 60th District. It also means Doug Peck wins the Lyon County Commission Second District — and with Dan Slater’s announcement last week that he plans to vacate the spot following the vote canvass, Peck will likely take over the post this week.
On top of that, it means all Lyon County’s department heads — County Attorney Marc Goodman, County Clerk Tammy Vopat, Register of Deeds Wendy Weiss, Sheriff Jeff Cope and Treasurer Sharon Gaede — are easily re-elected.
With almost 14,000 votes cast and a little more than 20,000 registered voters, Lyon County’s unofficial final turnout is 68.3 percent.
