What Do You Do, Exactly?
Featuring KanVote.org
We get this question A LOT.
We are passionate about public service as a tangible example of servant leadership. You’ve heard of people leading “with a servant’s heart”? The ideal client/candidate (not just here, but every workplace) doesn’t ask first about money or “what should I run for”, but “how can I best use my time/talents/treasure to serve those around me”.
SOLD. You’re hired. You should be elected. Ahh, those were the days…
Soapbox mini-rant: If you fancy yourself a US Senator or President, but you’ve never served on a church, civic, or community committee, your interest is in the mirror and shouldn’t be let outta the house, let alone elected to one!

[steps off soapbox]
Specifically, we provide two products to the public at-large (VoteSharp.biz and KanVote.org) and campaign/public service strategy, voter data analysis, and a newly launched service - VoteSharp Juror Insight.
This started out as one blog, but became even TL;DR for that, so each piece will get its own spotlight in the coming weeks - we promise you’ll find at least one of these applicable to you and your network!
KanVote Mail Ballot Application Subscription:
Stephanie’s husband, Dan, gets credit for this one!
He leaves for work early, gets home late, and doesn’t have Stephanie’s candidate research memorized (!). Voting on Election Day isn’t convenient, but she (somewhat forcefully) insisted he never miss a vote.
She completes a ballot application for each election, he signs them, she drops in the mail.
This is NOT the ballot, just the required step to get a ballot mailed to you. While we’d love to Vote Early, Vote Often, orange jumpsuits are not our jam. 🙅🏻♀️
The ballot arrives with plenty of time for research (aka listening to Stephanie’s version of why he should vote for so-and-so).
TEN YEARS ago, voting comes up during a conversation with Dan’s college buddies. He mentioned this process, they said they’d pay for such a service, and KanVote was born!
PRICING: $10 individual, $20 couple, $30 for 3+ voters in household
BOGO for our readers until May 1. Email Stephanie with the names of your giftees.
KanVote is a great stocking stuffer!
Bulk discounts for organizations/workplaces.
Kansas only.
How It Works:
When you subscribe (enter info, scroll down to pay), we fill out your APPLICATION (this form) to receive a ballot by mail, with everything except your signature. Again, orange jumpsuit, BAD.
This includes YOUR mailing address for the ballot to be sent. You can add an alternate mailing address if you are out of town or for a student at school.
We collect your driver’s license number and place it in the required space.
When you receive your applications:
Sign BOTH applications – one side is for the August Primary Election and the other side is for the November General Election.
Insert and seal into the provided stamped envelope to your election office.
Drop in any mailbox!
Schedule:
August 5 Primary Election: Ballots are mailed July 16.
Your ballot should arrive by Saturday, July 19.
November 4 General Election: Ballots are mailed October 15.
Your ballot should arrive by Saturday, October 18.
In the coming weeks, we will highlight the other services as well as continue the weekly Serve60Sharp newsletter. Reply, Like, Subscribe, and Share to spruce up our little corner of the world wide web!
