There’s less than a week left to register to vote in Kansas for the August primary election.
Sedgwick County Election Commissioner Tabitha Lehman says people can contact the local election office if they need help before the July 12 deadline.
"If you have moved, changed your name or you just need to get register, you need to go ahead and get that taken care of before July 12 so you won’t have any issues when you go to vote, either early or in person," Lehman says.
People registering for the first time in Kansas will need to prove their citizenship by providing a document such as a birth certificate to the county election office. There is also the option to register to vote online.
It’s too late to switch political parties before the Aug. 2 primary election, but unaffiliated voters or people registering for the first time can still choose a political party.
