Send in those mail-in ballots!
Johnson County began mailing ballots to voters on July 15. The sooner you return your ballots, the sooner you will be removed from campaign advertising lists — no more phone calls or mailers.
Advance in-person voting is underway in Johnson and Wyandotte counties.
Upcoming candidate forums
Candidate forums provide an excellent opportunity to learn more about the candidates.
Visit our Events page for more details on the U.S. Senate candidate forum this Saturday, July 25, 12 p.m.
Webinar: The Fight for the Right to Vote | July 23, 2 to 3 p.m.
Join this League of Women Voters webinar, featuring guest speakers from The Leadership Conference, And Still I Vote and All Voting is Local for a discussion of the systemic racism embedded in our election processes, including voter suppression tactics that disproportionately target Black people and people of color. You will also learn how you can get more involved in collective efforts to upend these practices.
Free learning opportunity
To help Americans begin the conversation about social equity, the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance is offering the online course, The Equity Journey, free of charge for 30 days, beginning July 15. Learners will explore the meaning of equity, test their own understanding of privilege and learn how to advance equity in their own organizations and communities.
The Johnson County Election Office still needs assistance.
Help open and flatten mail-in ballots. Shifts are still open through the first week of August. Contact Amber Stenger if you are interested.
Celebrate the 19th Amendment centennial with a visit to the Johnson County Museum (in-person or virtual).
The museum's Women and the Vote digital exhibit is available at the Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center Cultural Commons through Dec. 31, 2020. You can also see a League of Women Voters of Kansas pop-up exhibit through July 25. Both exhibits are also viewable online here.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the tour of the Johnson County Election Office!
