Tuesday is the last day to get registered to vote in the November general election.

Ellis County voters can register at 18 locations throughout the county, including the County Administrative Building at 718 Main Street and in the Memorial Union on the Fort Hays State University campus. Locations can be found HERE.

Voters can also register online at the Kansas Secretary of State’s website.

According to Ellis County Clerk Donna Maskus, residents have to re-register to vote only if they have recently moved, changed their name or if they want to change party affiliation.

Maskus said anyone with questions regarding voter status or history can go to voteKS.org.

“There’s a lot of information on your voter history and your status,” she said.

Kansas residents who are not currently registered to vote must provide proof of U.S. citizenship when registering.

“The best documentation, and probably the easiest, is your birth certificate,” Maskus said.

Those who registered to vote at a Kansas Division of Motor Vehicles office or applied to register to vote using the “Federal Form” voter registration application but have not provided proof of citizenship are registered to vote in the general election after Secretary of State Kris Kobach and the American Civil Liberties Union reached an agreement following a lawsuit.

Advanced voting in Ellis County starts on Monday, Oct. 24, and runs through noon Nov. 7 at the Administrative Center, which is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Election day is Nov. 8.

A photo ID is required to vote.
