Statewide, nearly 60,000 of the 106,000 mail-in ballots sent have been returned. The figures show that ballots have come back in both Sedgwick County and across Kansas, though the information provided does not specify when the ballots were sent or when the return totals were recorded.
The reported numbers do not include a breakdown by county beyond Sedgwick County, nor do they provide comparisons with mail-in ballot returns in previous elections. No explanation was provided for what may be contributing to the returns, and no additional details were given about how many ballots remain outstanding or how the totals may change as the election approaches.
The election date and the names of officials or agencies reporting the figures were not provided. The available information also does not describe ballot-processing procedures or indicate whether the returned ballots have been reviewed or counted.
