Sample Message to Friends, Family, and Neighbors
Dear [Insert friend/family/neighbor name here]:
In the November 2024 general election, nearly 73% of registered voters in Johnson County voted.
While I’m encouraged that voter turnout in recent election years has been rising, I know we can do even better when voting for our local elected officials.
Our elected officials all make a difference in our community. For those of you who do vote in local elections, thank you for taking the time to vote and contribute to our democracy. For those who maybe haven’t voted in a local election before, or maybe it has just been a long time, please join me in voting in this year’s General Election on Tuesday, November 4.
Kansans also have the opportunity to vote in advance. For details on advance voting and other and key election dates click here.
To vote, you need to be registered, so please register or confirm that you are registered by October 14. The Johnson County Election Office has instructions on how to register so you can be sure. If you’re new to Johnson County or have moved since you last voted, it’s likely you’ll need to register or update your voter registration.
Here are two great websites with valuable voter and candidate information to assist Johnson County voters. The Johnson County Election Office site, which you can access here, lists important information on voter registration, where to vote, and how to advance vote. VoteJoCo.com provides links to video interviews of the candidates (hosted on the VoteJoCo YouTube channel) and written policy questionnaire responses for many city and county races.
Thank you again for voting.
Regards,
