Election Day is now a week away, and Lyon County Election Officer Tammy Vopat says things have gone smoothly.
Election Day is officially Nov. 8. Advance voting has been underway since mid-October, and Vopat says turnout has been steady. Over 1,000 mail ballots have been requested, with better than 500 already returned. Over 1,300 residents have used the various in-person advance vote process, either at the Lyon County Courthouse or the Lyon County Fairgrounds Anderson Building.
Tuesday (today) is the final day residents can request a mail ballot, and those need to be postmarked by Nov. 8 to count. Residents in Emporia Precincts 9, 10 and 25 that use the Emporia Senior Center can use the facility as a polling place despite the center being closed to the public recently as financial woes continue.
Polls will be open from 7 am to 7 pm Nov. 8, and KVOE News will have complete election coverage as soon as the polls close. Click here for more information about the election, including local and area candidates, ballot questions, polling places and important dates.
