Get to know K&H Election Services
K&H is driven by a
commitment to integrity, vision, perseverance, perfect and
timely. That commitment makes K&H Election Services
possibly the most customer-focused and production-ready ballot
printing and mailing vendor in the western United States.
K&H Election Services is a division of K&H
Integrated Print Solutions. We've been in business since
1908. Over a century later, our company remains financially sound
and stable, and steadily growing.
Our election services began in 1932, printing ballots for a
local county. Later we recognized a trend toward vote-by-mail and
developed the technology and trained the people to support the
printing and mailing services for this highly technical process.
Since that time, we've built a roster of over 20 counties
throughout the western United States that rely on K&H Election
Services for their ballot printing and mailing.
These counties don't choose us only for our capabilities
and capacity, however. They choose us for our
expertise and innovation in the ballot
business. Our people are dedicated to specializing in serving
the needs of counties offering vote-by-mail balloting. While your
team has served through many election cycles, our team has served
through many hundreds of election cycles.
