Johnson County receives grant to help with high demand in voting

By the end of Monday, there will be a little over 500 hours until Election Day. Johnson County, Kansas commissioners accepted a grant to help with the high demand. “The postage, the paper cost, the ballot cost for the large quantity by mail ballots that we’re sending out, none of that was included in our budget for this year,” Elections Commissioner Connie Schmidt. It’s been an unusual election year for staff at the Johnson County, Kansas Election Office. Schmidt said employees are planning for Election Day in the middle of a pandemic and a high demand of mail in voters.
