• Here's why Johnson County Election Office says it closed some early voting sites (kansascity.com) — Johnson County’s election office plans to close eight early voting sites but add new locations in Spring Hill and De Soto, reshaping where residents can cast advance ballots in 2026. Officials say they’re consolidating into high-traffic “core” sites with uniform hours, while county leaders and civil rights advocates worry the closures could reduce access, especially for lower-income voters.
