As the Nov. 5 general election nears, the Johnson County Election Office urges voters to be aware of the upcoming voter registration deadline.

“It is very important for Johnson County voters to be aware of this deadline to ensure all eligible residents have the opportunity to make their voice heard,” Johnson County Election Commissioner Fred Sherman said.

The last day to register to vote or update voter registration information is Tuesday, October 15. Voters with a valid Kansas driver’s license can complete a voter registration form online or print the application and submit it by email, text, or by mail or personal delivery to the Johnson County Election Office at 2101 E. Kansas City Rd. in Olathe. Voters may register online at the state’s website at votekansas.gov. More information on all the options to register to vote can be found at jocoelection.org/registration.

The requirements to be eligible to register to vote are being a United States citizen, a Johnson County resident, and 18 years old on or before Election Day.

Before submitting an application, residents are encouraged to review their voter registration status at jocoelection.org/VoterView. Residents who are already registered to vote are encouraged to review and verify their status on the same website before the Tuesday deadline.

Individuals should call the Johnson County Election Office at 913-715-6800 for more information or assistance with voter registration.
