July 12 is the last day to register to vote for the Aug. 2 primary election.
Voters may register to vote online at https://www.kdor.ks.gov/Apps/VoterReg, according to information from the Wyandotte County Election office’s website.
If voters are unsure of their registration status, they may use the secretary of state’s Voter View website to look up their status online at
https://myvoteinfo.voteks.org/voterview.
The Voter View website will tell voters if they are currently registered, and will tell them their polling place.
There also are sample ballots available for voters to look at.
Voter View also will tell voters what districts they are in. Some Wyandotte County voters have been taken out of the 3rd Congressional District and placed in the 2nd Congressional District this year, and some changes also have occurred with the state legislative and State Board of Education districts because of redistricting passed by the Kansas Legislature.
