The 2024 election is fast approaching.

Guthrie County Auditor Dani Fink mentions that November 5th is the actual election day, but that for those who might not be able to vote in person on that day, early voting is an option that begins this week. She tells Raccoon Valley Radio what individuals will need if they plan to vote early.

“So, an absentee ballot request form is required. You can call our office, and we will mail you the form, and then you can fill it out and mail it back in. The first day that we can mail those ballots that have been requested is October 16th, so any ballot that is requested between now and October 16th will be mailed out on October 16th, and then we’ll be daily mailing from there on the request that we receive.”

Fink says that voting can also be done in person at the Auditor’s Office in the Guthrie County Courthouse instead of by mail. She adds that for those that want to vote at her office, proof of residence is required.
