Brian Newby, the Election Commissioner for Johnson County, Kansas, gave a presentation to the Rotary Club of Western Johnson County about elections in Johnson County. Some key points:
- Johnson County has nearly 380,000 registered voters across 494 precincts served by up to 286 voting locations on election days.

Turnout for mail ballot elections was also often higher than typical elections, with some school bond elections seeing over 40% turnout.

An astonishing, first-of-its-kind, report by the NYT assessing damage in Ukraine. Even if the war ends tomorrow, in many places there will be nothing to go back to.
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

82. Our 2012 Mission
ID is Checked to
Verify Name and
Picture, Not Address.
83. Valid forms of photographic ID:
Driver’s license or nondriver’s ID card issued by Kansas or by another state or
district of the U.S.
U.S. passport
U.S. military ID document
Concealed carry of handgun license issued by Kansas or by another state or
district of the U.S.
Employee badge or ID document issued by a municipal, county, state, or federal
government office
Student ID card issued by an accredited postsecondary institution of education in
Kansas
Public assistance ID card issued by a municipal, county, state, or federal
government office
84. Guidelines for Assessing Photo ID Documents
Remember, the ID document is used only to verify the
voter’s name and image.
First, verify that the name on the ID is consistent with
the poll book. If consistent, issue a regular ballot. If it is
not consistent, issue a provisional ballot.
Second, compare the photograph on the ID to the voter.
If you are satisfied that the voter is the person depicted
in the photo on the ID document, issue a regular ballot.
85. If you are unable to make a determination because the
document is degraded or the photo is poor quality, issue
a regular ballot if one of the following conditions is met:
(1) the date of birth on the ID document matches the
poll book, or
(2) the voter submits a second ID document with a
photo that appears to be the voter, or (3) one of the
other poll workers has personal knowledge that the
voter is the person in the photo.
Issue a provisional ballot if none of these conditions is
met or if you are not satisfied that the voter is the person
depicted in the photo.
86. If there is disagreement among poll workers as to whether a
voter’s ID document is valid, the supervising judge shall
decide whether to issue a regular ballot or a provisional
ballot. This procedure does not exempt the voter from
providing an ID document. The only voters exempt from the
ID requirement are those who sign a Declaration of
Religious Objection (Form DRO).
The address on the ID document does not have to match the
poll book. Use the poll book to verify the voter’s address,
not the ID document.
Persons age 65 or older may use expired ID documents.
87. Exemption from the ID requirement
Any person whose religious beliefs prohibit
photographic identification may be exempted from the
photo ID requirement.
Any such person may complete and sign a declaration
and file it with the Secretary of State or the county
election officer before the election.
Some voters may sign them at the polling place.
Form DRO is used for this purpose. (Declaration of
Religious Objection)

96. Traps to Avoid
The ―New Me‖
Voter doesn’t bear any
resemblance to his or
her photo.
97. Traps to Avoid
The Familiar Face
Voter is a friend,
acquaintance, or even a
pastor from church.
ID must be checked, by
law.
98. Traps to Avoid
The Name Du Jour
Voter’s name doesn’t
resemble that in the
poll book at all.

Feisty Man
Doesn’t have the right
ID and doesn’t want to
complete a provisional
ballot or come back
with an ID.
101. Traps to Avoid
The Protestor
Refuses to show ID or
doesn’t bring ID.
102. VOTER NOTICE
In compliance with federal Voting System Standards, the voting machine
will notify you if you have not touched the screen for 2 minutes.
If the machine is inactive for 2 consecutive minutes, a special screen will
appear. If this screen appears, simply touch “Resume” at the bottom of
the screen to return to your ballot. You will return to where you left off.
Your selections to that point will not be lost.
If you do not touch “Resume” within 30 seconds of the message, your
voter card will eject and you will need to see an election worker to begin
voting again. Election workers are trained to assist you if this occurs.
You may resume as many times as needed.
