Early voter turnout in Kansas ahead of Tuesday’s election is significantly higher than it was at this point in 2018, the last midterm primary election. As of Wednesday, 110,697 votes have been cast in person, according to the Kansas Secretary of State. That’s more than three times the number of votes counted than at this point in 2018: Only 32,004 early votes had been cast at this point four years ago. That’s a roughly 246% increase in early in-person votes. The number of mailed ballots returned to Kansas election offices is also up significantly since this point in the 2018 primary. 52,865 advance ballots have been returned so far this year, compared to 24,063 during the last midterm primary. That’s more than double the 2018 number. In-person early voting continues in Kansas until noon on August 1. Mail-in ballots have to be postmarked by Election Day.
