Attention all active registered Saline County voters: if you haven't already, you soon should receive a mailing from the Saline County Election Office.
In the envelope is a variety of voter information, including an application to receive primary and general election ballots by mail.
"Included in the envelope is a letter giving the options for voting available to all voters, voter registration card, an advance ballot application for both the primary and general, and an envelope to return those forms to our office," County Clerk Jamie Doss explained.
Doss emphasized that no postage is required to return those applications in the envelope provided in the mailing. Voters also can return the documents via email or fax, information for which is at the top of the letter.
Additionally, the county clerk's office last week received approval from the Salina-Saline County Building Authority to install a ballot drop box next to the Salina Water Department drop box along the circle drive on the south side of of the City-County Building at 300 West Ash Street, Doss said.
"The ballot drop box will be available to return ballots 20 days prior to each election and closing on election night at 7 p.m.," she added.
Doss said the letter sent in the mailing is specific to each voter and includes the voter's party affiliation. Persons who wish to change their party affiliation must do so by noon on June 1, she noted.
The deadline for voters to change their names and/or addresses is July 14, she added.
Poll workers needed
Doss said the election office is currently recruiting poll workers for the elections.
"Those interested must be a registered voter in Saline County or a 16- or 17-year-old who is otherwise eligible to register to vote, except for not yet being of legal age," she explained.
