Voters should call their county election office to find out where their precinct polling place is located, and to make sure they are registered to vote. If they are not registered, they shouldn't lose heart. Kansas allows registration up to fifteen days before the election for registration.
State law requires first-time voters to show identification at the time of registration; after registration or before Election Day; on Election Day; or after Election Day and before the canvass. Voters may show a driver's license, utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document that shows your name and address.
If a voter is not on the list of registered voters or forgot to bring identification, all they have to do is ask for a provisional ballot. Poll workers will provide information on how to check to make sure the voter's vote counted.
Voters' rights will be posted at every polling place. If a voter believes his/her rights have been violated and wants to file a complaint, they should check the walls for posters with instructions and contact information. Before they vote, voters should look for posters that explain how to use the voting equipment.
Poll workers can answer voters' questions before and after they visit the polls. At the polling place, poll workers can explain the process and show voters how to use the voting equipment. They will give voters provisional ballots if they need them and if a voter has gone to the wrong polling place, they can help the voter find the right one.
