Slow start to advance voting in city primary
Community notices advance voting for the city primary but stresses a registration deadline on Monday. Analyst Shew projects 25 percent turnout, referencing 2003 when 23 percent of 47 109 registered Lawrence voters cast ballots, and expects higher participation in the April 5 general election. The ballot may include Lawrence School District band issues and a constitutional amendment to ban same sex marriage. The Help America Vote Act, funded with federal dollars, requires accessible voting machines at each site and another device to detect ballot errors, with county costs estimated at 800000 to 1 million unless aid is found. Kansas has about 27 million in federal HAVA funding. Congress has not fully funded the mandate.
