VOTE KC!

Like all election officials around the country, the Kansas City Election Board (KCEB) staff is preparing for a record turnout of voters in November, including newly registered, first-time voters and the once-every-four-year voters (“1 in 4’ers”). Kansas City’s 56% and 60% turnouts in 2004 and 2000 respectively are likely to be surpassed and KCEB is gearing up to handle the challenge.

The increased voter turnout will be coupled with:

  • a continual shortage of election day workers
  • voters who have moved and arrive at the wrong poll
  • voters who forget to bring identification
  • exhausted poll workers who rise at 4 a.m.(or earlier) to open the polls and work a 15 to 18 hour day.
  • poll challengers and/or watchers
  • provisional voting
  • first-time use of electronic voting machines in a presidential election

Together these circumstances can create long lines, impatient voters and overwhelmed poll workers. KCEB’s goal is to tackle these issues by informing the public about ways we all can help make November 4 (and August 5) as hassle-free, painless, and uncomplicated an experience as possible. Through targeted outreach and education efforts, KCEB hopes to achieve this goal through its VOTE KC! campaign.
