The use of a .gov address ensures security and lets Kansans know they are accessing an official government site, rather than a third-party one.” Activities at Shawnee County parks will soon close for the year To be able to cast a vote in the Nov. 5 election, Kansans must be registered to vote and make sure their voter registration information is up to date by Oct. 15, 2024.
