Election News: Ballots will be sent to all active registered electors the week of October 14 – 18, 2019 for the 2019 Coordinated Election.

Tips for Mail Ballots:

• You will receive a ballot, secrecy sleeve, and a return envelope.

• Completely fill in the oval next to the selection you want.
• Yes/For       or                No/Against
• If you don’t want to vote for a race listed on your ballot, you can leave blank and all other votes will still count.

• After marking your ballot, place it inside the secrecy sleeve and place them both inside the return envelope that is addressed to the Prowers County Clerk and Recorder, 301 S. Main Street, Ste. 210, Lamar.
• Make very sure before mailing or delivering your voted ballot that you have signed on the signature line in the affidavit spot on the back side of your return envelope. This is required in order for your ballot to be processed. Election Judges must compare every signature to make sure that the intended voter was the one who signed their envelope.
