Johnson County Election Maps
Do you like maps? Do you like knowing the lay of the political landscape? Johnson County Election Office has online maps of the new Kansas House, and Senate Districts, County Commission, City Wards and Precincts, and State Board of Education. As of this writing the online map of US Congressional District 3 has not yet been updated. You can order printed maps for a fee, but they will send you a PDF of any one precinct for free.One caveat, the maps stop at the JOCO border so if your House or Senate district extends into other counties, you will only see the JOCO part.
Don’t know your precinct? You can find it and all your voting districts here. You can also check your voting history.
A Word from Your JCDW South President
Lovely time at the January meeting. As it was our first meeting of the year, elections were held. I’m thrilled to say we have some fantastic women on the board and we’ve added Anh Rongish as Communications. Thank you Anh!
Jeanna Repass was our guest and we discussed her intention to stay in the fray with us and she said she’s running for the Chair of the Kansas Democratic Party – KDP! Oh My! We also had a Q&A session on what we can do better, and how we can help fellow Kansans.
