Estamos aqu\u00ed para apoyar a todos los votantes y para colaborar con los funcionarios electorales cuando sea necesario\u201d.\r\n\r\n\"Los habitantes de Kansas saben lo que est\u00e1 en juego en estas elecciones, y est\u00e1n votando y<\/em> acudiendo a las casillas electorales para asegurarse de que se escuchen las voces de sus vecinos\", dijo Micah Kubic, director ejecutivo de la ACLU de Kansas.<\/strong> \"M\u00e1s all\u00e1 del ruido de las campa\u00f1as pol\u00edticas, los debates y los conflictos entre partidos, la democracia se trata de nuestra comunidad y de qui\u00e9n tiene voz en la toma de decisiones. Los habitantes de Kansas quieren ayudarse mutuamente a participar y ejercer su derecho al voto, y \u2018Election Protection\u2019 los apoyar\u00e1 en ello por octavo a\u00f1o en el estado\".\r\n\r\nPara las pr\u00f3ximas elecciones primarias de 2026, que se celebrar\u00e1n el 4 de agosto, se capacitar\u00e1 a casi 200 voluntarios, quienes ser\u00e1n asignados a centros de votaci\u00f3n en todo el estado. En agosto de 2024, el programa capacit\u00f3 a 55 voluntarios, quienes brindaron asistencia en 15 condados. En las primarias de agosto de 2022, el programa despleg\u00f3 alrededor de 70 voluntarios, y los voluntarios de la l\u00ednea de ayuda en el condado de Sedgwick fueron fundamentales para informar r\u00e1pidamente cuando a algunos votantes se les neg\u00f3 indebidamente el acceso a un centro de votaci\u00f3n en Maize<\/a> y se les redirigi\u00f3 a otro lugar, antes de que cerraran las casillas. La ACLU de Kansas se puso en contacto con la Oficina Electoral del condado de Sedgwick, asegur\u00e1ndose de que los votantes afectados pudieran votar de manera provisional y, de este modo, resolviendo el asunto r\u00e1pidamente, de manera colaborativa y sin litigios.\r\n\r\nEn la temporada electoral de 2026, la l\u00ednea de ayuda ya ha recibido llamadas de votantes de Kansas a lo largo del \u00faltimo mes, con un notable aumento esta \u00faltima semana. Los votantes han planteado preguntas sobre una variedad de temas, entre ellos las boletas por correo y los centros de votaci\u00f3n.\r\n\r\nEl 2026 es la primera elecci\u00f3n en la que estaba previsto que entrara en vigor una nueva ley, aprobada en la sesi\u00f3n legislativa de 2025, que elimina el per\u00edodo de procesamiento de correo de tres d\u00edas, o \"per\u00edodo de gracia\". Sin embargo, a partir del 16 de julio, est\u00e1 vigente una orden judicial provisional que restablece el per\u00edodo de procesamiento de correo de tres d\u00edas para la recepci\u00f3n de boletas electorales con sello postal con fecha a m\u00e1s tardar del d\u00eda de las elecciones. Dada la posibilidad de que surjan nuevas resoluciones judiciales que afecten a esta situaci\u00f3n, la ACLU de Kansas sigue instando a los votantes a actuar con precauci\u00f3n y a asegurarse de que todas las boletas de voto anticipado se entreguen antes de las 7 p. m. del d\u00eda de las elecciones.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n# # #<\/em>\r\n\r\nAcerca de la ACLU de Kansas: La ACLU de Kansas es la filial estatal de la Uni\u00f3n Americana de Libertades Civiles nacional (ACLU).
