(KLZA)-- Three more voting precincts in Richardson County will be casting votes by mail only for the May 12 Primary Election.
Richardson County Clerk Mary Eickhoff who is also the election official said the changes were made in part due to a shortage of voting equipment.
When the new precinct counters were delivered, Richardson County had three less machines than needed. The State approved having the Salem, East Muddy and the Grant/Nemaha precincts join the Arago/Barada precinct as mail-in only precincts.
Richardson County registered voters also should have received an application for early voting from the Secretary of States office this week. You can complete that form and return it to the Richardson County Clerks Office and your ballot will be mailed to you.
Eickhoff feels that receiving your ballot early can be an advantage for voters, allowing them more time to review the candidates and issues on the ballot.
Early votes will be accepted beginning Monday. Mail in ballots can dropped off in the drop box on the north side of the Richardson County Courthouse.
