(KAIR)--With voter registration ending Tuesday in Kansas, county clerk’s offices statewide now begin the task of mailing out ballots to those who have thus far requested them.

In Atchison County, County Clerk and Chief Election Officer Michelle Phillips says her office is sending out 2,244 ballots Wednesday a number she believes is a record for the county.

While those ballots are being sent out beginning today, voters do still have time to request one.

That deadline is Tuesday, October 27th.

Phillips says mail-in ballots must be postmarked no later than Election Day, November 3rd, and must be received by the county clerk’s office on Friday, November 6th, to count.
