Keith County Clerk Sandra Olson has announced that early voting for the Primary Election will begin on Monday, April 9, 2012.

Olson reminds voters that state law permits any registered voter to vote an early ballot.  However, voters must first request the early ballot in writing. An early ballot request form will be printed in the April 9, 2012 edition of the Keith County News.  Voters interested in voting early by mail may fill out that form and return it to the Keith County Clerk’s office, 511 North Spruce, Ste 102, Ogallala, NE  69153.  Voters may also call the Clerk’s office at 308-284-4726 and have an early ballot request form mailed or faxed to them.   Voters may also simply write a letter to the Clerk’s office requesting an early ballot and include their name, voting address, signature, and the address where they want the ballot sent.

Olson reminds those voters interested in obtaining an early ballot through the mail, that those requests must be received in her office no later 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 9, 2012.

Voters may also vote an early ballot in person at the Clerk’s Office.  Voters who want to vote an early ballot in person may come directly to the Clerk’s office.  The last day for early voting in person at the County Clerk’s office is May 14, 2012.

Anyone having questions regarding early voting should contact the Clerk’s office.
