Tuesday marks three weeks until the November presidential election. It’s also the final day to register to vote in Kansas.
You can register by mail, online or at your local election office.
Johnson County recommends people check their status before registering. If you’re already registered, review your status by the Oct. 15 deadline.
Andy Hyland from the Johnson County Election Office said as of last weekend, the county has more than 475,000 people registered. That’s 10,000 more than the August primary.
If you live in Missouri, the deadline to register was last week.
Kansas City’s election board said voter registration is up a little this election cycle. They told KSHB 41 News on Monday that their registration was around 230,000 and counting.
Early voting in Wyandotte and Johnson counties begins Saturday, Oct. 19. In Missouri, no-excuse voting begins Oct. 22.
