Dear Ellis Patrons,
November 8th is the General Election in our state, and your vote can make a difference for Kansas schools.
Whether you plan to vote in person or by advance ballot, there are a few dates you will need to keep in mind:
October 18th - is the voter registration deadline. To confirm your registration is current, visit www.ksvotes.org.
October 19th - November 7th is the timeframe in which you can cast your vote early via an advance ballot or at the following locations (Insert local county/city info on early polling locations/times – these dates may differ by county).
November 1st - is the last day to request an advance ballot; you can submit your request online at ksvotes.org.
November 8th - is Election Day! Vote in person at your designated polling place.
Make your plan now to ensure your voice is heard this November, and encourage your friends, family members, and coworkers to do the same.
Sincerely,
Janice Wilson
Superintendent
