Riley County elections official explains how to register to vote, stresses Oct. 15 cutoff

Addison Morgan, of the Riley County Elections Division, walked listeners through how to register to vote and update existing registrations, saying the process is simple and available in multiple formats. “Getting registered to vote can seem a little bit difficult, but in reality, it's not too bad,” Morgan said.

Morgan told residents they should update their voter registration after a name change, a move or any address change so they remain eligible at their correct polling place. She outlined three ways to register: complete an online form, print a PDF and mail or email it, or complete the form in person at the elections office.

Morgan cited the county elections website as the starting point for online registration and downloadable forms, stating the URL in the recording as “www.brythecountyks.gov/elections.” The transcript's URL appears inconsistent with the Riley County name used by Morgan; that URL may be a typographical error in the recording. Residents should confirm the correct Riley County elections website through official county channels before relying on the link.

For those who prefer in-person service, Morgan said the elections office accepts completed forms at 115 North 4th Street. Morgan also urged residents to note the registration cutoff for the November election: “the cutoff for voter registration or to update your registration is October 15,” and asked listeners to meet that deadline so their registrations are processed in time.

Morgan closed by reminding listeners that they may only vote in the county where they are registered and by encouraging turnout: “We're so excited to see you at the polls,” she said.

The Elections Division did not reference any statute or ordinance in the recording and provided no contact phone number; listeners seeking confirmation of dates, deadlines or the correct website should consult Riley County's official communications or contact the Elections Division directly.
