The cutoff in Kansas is tomorrow. Voter advocacy groups have been working to register people in the final days. Marge Ahrens (ARE-ens) is with the League of Women Voters of Topeka and Shawnee County. She says there are multiple scenarios where filling out a new voter registration form makes sense.
“(They) changed their name, which could involve a marriage, and moving. And lots of people move, and they move often. The other issue is that if you haven't voted for a few years, you probably had better re-register.”
Kansans can register to vote at county election offices or online at the secretary of state’s website.
