(KAIR)--Advance voting is now underway, leading up to Atchison County’s November 5 general election.

According to Atchison County Clerk Michelle Phillips, advance ballots can be cast at the clerk’s Atchison County Courthouse office from 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The advance, in person voting will end at 12 noon on November 4.

Phillips says those who wish to cast a ballot in advance need to bring a photo ID to her office, where they will receive their ballot to vote immediately.

Advance voting can also be conducted through the U.S. mail. To do so, Phillips says an application must be filled out, and returned to her office, which will then mail a ballot to the voter. That can be accomplished by going to the clerk’s office, calling the office, or utilizing the Kansas Secretary of State’s website, where applications are available. However, Phillips said it will need to printed, completed, and returned to her office.

Ballots will not be able to be mailed after 5:00 on the evening of Tuesday, October 29.

All advance mail ballots must be returned by 7:00 on the evening of election day, November 5. Phillips says they can either be mailed, or delivered, to her office, or taken to any Atchison County polling location on that date.

Any questions should be addressed to the Atchison County Clerk’s Office at 913-804-6030.

Among Atchison County-based offices to be decided on election day are the Atchison City Commission, the city councils in Effingham and Muscotah, and USD 409, and USD 377.
