Advance Voter turnout is nearing 10 percent in Lyon County.

Turnout is currently at 8 percent, with just over 1,700 voters casting ballots over the last week. Over 660 mail ballots have been sent out to voters in that same timeframe, with 269 returned.

A reminder: the final day to request a mail ballot is Tuesday, October 27th. While the three-day grace period for mail-in ballots is still in place, several legal cases are still making their way through the courts so residents are encouraged to not wait to get their ballots in and to do so in person to guarantee their arrival by Election Day.

Advance voting inside the Lyon County Courthouse Clerk’s Office continues from 8 am to 5 pm daily over the next week and will conclude Monday, November 2, with hours being 8 am to noon.

Election day is Tuesday, November 3, with polls opening at 7 am and remaining open until 7 pm. KVOE News will have complete election coverage shortly after the polls close on KVOE and KVOE.com.
