Voting-related forms causing confusion

By Neil Wieland

08/27/2020

(KAIR)--The Atchison County Clerk’s Office has been fielding calls from county residents confused about “Vote At Home Ballot Request Forms” that they’ve been receiving through the mail.

The mailer comes from The Center for Voter Information, a non-government, non-profit organization, that’s not affiliated with any state or local election office. The center is legally allowed to send these documents, which have gone out to millions of homes across the country.

The mailer follows one conducted by the Atchison County Clerk’s Office earlier this summer in which county residents were sent applications for mail-in ballots for the primary election in August and the General election in November.

Officials in the clerk’s office say if you’ve already submitted a form requesting a mail-in ballot for the general election, you don’t have to do so again.

This information is also stated in the mailer coming from the non-government center; however, the duplication has naturally led to some confusion.

The clerk’s office adds that the forms tend to be going out only to the registered Democrats in the county.
