I got one (despite the fact that I've written postcards for years, serve as an observer for years, have voted in all but 2, maybe 3 elections in the past 5 decades, and door knocked for Democratic candidates. My daughter also got one.

Both were the creepy version. (Who you vote for is private, but whether you vote is public record.) I hate that version and have rejected it every time it has been offered. Apparently, it is being interpreted that way by others, as well. https://www.spotlightpa.org/news/2022/05/pa-primary-2022-postcard-social-pressure-campaign/

ETA: Mine go out tomorrow ( with one of two less creepy messages).

Thank you for being a voter! Your family and friends may need your reminder to vote. Please ask them to vote in the Tuesday November 5 election!
