Riley County was approaching 10,000 votes cast on Wednesday, six days out from the presidential election.
Officials reported at Thursday’s county commission meeting that 9,519 people had voted in advance so far. This includes both in-person and mail-in ballots. At this point in 2020, 16,434 people had voted in advance in Riley County, a 6,915-vote difference. Most of that, of course, is related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Advance voting is open until noon on Monday. Advance polling locations are the Riley County office building, which is open from 7:30 a.m. to noon, and the Bluemont Room at K-State’s Student Union from 10 a.m. until noon. On Tuesday, which is Election Day, voters must go to their polling places.
Voters can find their polling place by going to myvoteinfo.voteks.org.
