Track your Advance Ballot now

Have you requested an Advance Ballot this year?  Do you remember if you requested one?  Has the Election Office recorded it as being received?

If you live in Kansas, these are all questions you can answer by using this website and entering your identifying information:  https://myvoteinfo.voteks.org/VoterView

Most states have an equivalent site and here are a few for those of you I know who live in other states:
Maryland: https://voterservices.elections.maryland.gov/VoterSearch
Iowa: https://sos.iowa.gov/elections/absenteeballotstatus/absentee/search 
Missouri: Missouri does not have ballot tracking available.
Illinois:  It appears Illinois does not have ballot tracking available, but you might check with your county.

If you live in a different state, simply do a Google search for "track ballot in (name of state)"

Don't wait until Election Day to check on the status of your ballot. 

Do you know where the Ballot Drop Box is located near you?   Use Google Maps and do a search for "Ballot drop box near me" on your phone or mobile device.

One last thing about the election that I had not thought about until I read a friend's posting on Facebook yesterday: 
"One reason to vote early—if you were thinking about waiting until Election Day— is that there is a possibility you may be in quarantine on Election Day and then unable to vote. I hadn’t considered that potential in our Covid World."

After 7 months, now is not the time to be lax.  Please follow the suggested guidelines both for you and others. As the weather turns cooler and COVID cases seem to be on the increase once again, be wise.
