How to vote early in local elections in Wyandotte and Johnson counties
Election Day is just a few weeks away, on Tuesday, Nov. 4, but voters in Johnson and Wyandotte counties can cast their ballots in-person starting the week before.
Advance voting locations will be available for all registered voters with no excuse or application needed. Voters can also apply for a mail-in ballot, but they must submit their applications at least a week before Election Day to receive one.
Voters in the Kansas counties will vote on all sorts of local offices, including school boards, mayors, city councils and more, plus some local ballot issues.
