Holscher Statement on Johnson County Early Voting Location Closures
Topeka, KS – Today, Senator Cindy Holscher, Democratic frontrunner for Governor, released the following statement in response to the Johnson County Election Office announced plans to close eight early voting locations in the county:
“Voting should be easy and accessible for every Kansan,” said Sen. Cindy Holscher. “More than 60% of Johnson County voters used these early voting locations in the last election because they make participation convenient for working families and seniors. Reducing the number of sites, despite funding already being available, moves us in the wrong direction. We should be expanding access to the ballot box, not creating new barriers for the nearly 460,000 registered voters who rely on these locations.”
