Did You Know?

By: Charlotte O’Hara, Johnson County 3rd District Commissioner

This does not reflect the majority viewpoint of the JoCo BOCC

In the Johnson County 2022 county-wide commission race, there were 19,992 under votes. That’s nearly 8% of voters who didn’t cast their vote in this critical local election.

“An “under vote” occurs when a voter skips one or more races on the
ballot. This means a choice is not made for certain offices or issues,
even though the voter participated in other parts of the election.”

That’s correct, nearly 8% of voters participating in the November 2022 general election chose to leave their ballot blank on the race for Chairman of Johnson County Commission.

Some voters don’t think they know enough about local candidates so they skip over those races.  Or they believe down ballot candidates aren’t important. WRONG!! 

Decisions made by those at the BOTTOM of the ballot have the most direct impact on YOU!!!  Local elected officials, they are who raise YOUR property taxes. 

AND in these local elections, the margin of victory has been as narrow as 1 VOTE!!! Your vote – or lack thereof – can determine the outcome of races that shape policies right HERE in your backyard.

Spread the Word – ENCOURAGE Your Friends to research local candidates and ENCOURAGE them to Vote to the BOTTOM of the ballot!
