Why Voting Matters

Every eligible adult in Phillips County, Kansas holds the same power on Election Day: one vote that counts exactly as much as anyone else's. The next election for Phillips County voters is Kansas's primary election on August 1, 2028; local elections can come sooner, so check your local election office. Many Phillips County jobs are in health care and retail, so decisions about health care costs and local businesses hit close to home.

Phillips County voters cast about 2,750 ballots for president in 2024, about the same as the 2,750 cast in 2020. Compared with the county's roughly 3,750 adult residents, that works out to about 73%, above the statewide rate of about 58%.

That means roughly 999 adult residents did not cast a presidential ballot. Some are not eligible, but many are, and that is a lot of untapped power. If just one in 20 of them voted, Phillips County would add about 50 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
