HOW DO I REGISTER TO VOTE?
ONLINE VOTER REGISTRATION
A crucial primary is set for Tuesday, August 4, 2020. To be eligible to vote in that primary, you must be registered no later than Tuesday, July 14, 2020.
In order to vote in the upcoming primary you must register as the party you intend to vote with or as an unaffiliated.
Once registered, you may request a ballot by mail from your local county election office. Your county may be be sending you an application to vote by mail when you register. If they do not, you can go to your local county election’s office website and you will find information on how to get them there.
If you have any problems registering you can contact the secretary of state’s office at the toll free number 800-262-VOTE(8683) or contact your local county’s election office.
ITS OUR RESPONSIBILITY
WHY CATHOLICS SHOULD VOTE
One of key tenets of being a faithful Catholic is faithful citizenship. Every Kansas State Representative and State Senator office will be on the ballot in 2020. One of the most effective ways to ensure fair and just public policy (laws) is by electing people into office who share Catholic values and the ultimate goal of serving the common good.
Exercising the privilege and responsibility to vote is similar to Catholic participation in initiatives like “being counted” in the 2020 Census. These activities demonstrate our full and rightful participation in the culture where we live and work.
In our government, the people are sovereign over the government and exercise this by voting. The great Catholic philosopher Orestes Brownson once said that if even a minority of Catholics exercised their faithful citizenship they could steer our culture away from tyranny and toward the common good.
