Let election season begin!
In 2026, Johnson County has three special elections. Voters in the City of Edgerton, De Soto USD 232 and Olathe USD 233 will vote by mail.
If you’re registered and have an active status 30 days before the election, you’ll automatically receive a ballot in the mail starting February 11, 2026. Ballots must be received by 7:00 p.m. on March 3, 2026.
How to return your ballot
This reflects a recent legislative change: mail-in ballots must be returned before Election Day and need a postage stamp if mailed through the U.S. Postal Service.
No stamp? Worried about timing? No problem. You can return your ballot at a secure drop box 24 hours a day until 7:00 p.m. on March 3. See a map of drop box locations. »
