County election officials are adding secure drop boxes, polling places and an extra Saturday for advance voting, in anticipation of a record 90 percent turnout in the Nov. 3 presidential election, Johnson County Election Commissioner Connie Schmidt told the Board of County Commissioners Thursday. Schmidt told commissioners she expects more votes to be cast by mail than in person this year, due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic. The last day to request a mail-in ballot is Oct. 27. “I urge voters if they’re going to send that application in to send it now. Do not wait until the week before the election,” she said.
