Advance voting totals up markedly from 2016 cycle. Primary voters appear to be motivated to get to the polls this election cycle. Nearly twice as many Johnson County voters have cast their ballots using in-person advance voting this year than at this point in 2016. The Johnson County Election Office reported Thursday that it’s recorded 4,434 votes through three days of advance voting. That’s compared to 1,787 votes and 2,445 votes cast in advance after three days in 2014 and 2016, respectively. For more information on advance voting — and how it can change your life — click here.
