Whether you’re 19 or 99, you are an important member of our democracy. Be sure to exercise your right to vote in the November 2024 election. Here’s how to plan ahead.
Check your registration
Go to KSvotes.org or call the Sedgwick County Election Office at (316) 660-7100 to see if you are registered and if your information is up to date. If you have moved or changed your name since you last voted, you must re-register, either online at KSVotes.org or get a paper registration form at the Election Office at 510 N. Main. Oct. 15 is the last day to register or update your registration.
Apply for an advance ballot if needed
You can request an advance mail-in ballot if you do not want to wait in line at the polls, if you do not have transportation or if you’ll be out of town during the days the polls are open. You can request one from the election office or online at KSVotes.org. You can begin voting by mail as early as Oct. 16. The deadline to request an advance ballot to be mailed to you is Oct. 29 for the Nov. 5 election.
Be prepared if voting in person
Check on your polling location at www.vote411.org. It may have changed since you voted last time. You can also view your ballot there. All locations are open Election Day, Nov. 5, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Be sure to take your driver’s license or government-issued ID with you to vote in person.
Consider voting early in person
If you wait to vote until Nov. 5 and illness or something else comes up that you can’t make it that day, you lose your chance to vote. Early voting starts at the election office Oct. 21 and at satellite locations Oct. 29. Early voting ends at noon on Nov. 4.
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization encouraging the informed and active participation of citizens in government, including the voting process. For more information, visit VoterServices@lwvwichita.org or call 316-835-0001.
