Nearly 400 Allen Countians have cast ballots in advance of Tuesday’s primary election, a number substantially larger than past primary tallies, poll workers noted Friday.
The higher turnout likely revolves around the question asking voters to amend the state constitution regarding abortion restrictions.
A “yes” vote allows the State Legisture to pass laws to regulate abortion in Kansas. A “no” vote makes no changes to the State Constitution which restricts abortion after 22 weeks, among other things.
There are also a number of contested races on the ballots, mostly for Republicans, including for Jerry Moran’s U.S. Senate seat, the Kansas governor’s race; secretary of state, attorney general, state treasurer and the Kansas State Board of Education.
On the Democratic side, Gov. Laura Kelly is facing a primary challenge from Richard Karnowsk, while six hopefuls are seeking the Democratic notination to face whoever wins the GOP nomination for Moran’s Senate seat.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday for those who have not voted in advance.
