I haven't gotten one.
One of the letters mentioned how important it is to have women and minorities "have their voices heard."
I think I know why I haven't gotten a letter.
This seems like a faintly intimidating approach. "We will know whether you voted!"
The Center for Voter Information is a "nonprofit, nonpartisan organization." And no doubt they also have ocean-front property in Kansas to sell us.

" And no doubt they also have ocean-front property in Kansas to sell us."
In the same Galaxy issue as "The Pain Peddlers" (the story that foretold the rise of reality TV) was a story written in the format of a future history article, about how cataclysmic seismic activity created "The Great Nebraska Sea".
I received a letter from a group with similar name, perhaps the same. They wanted to inform me about two issues of the two candidates, education and an aspect of health insurance. Their positive evaluation of Biden's positions came from his campaign website, and their negative evaluation of Trump's positions came from an advocacy group. Interestingly, they were careful to say that positions were not always easy to summarise as "yes" or "no," that they were striving to be fair to both candidates, and encouraged me to look at the websites to get a fuller picture.
The bias is getting more subtle.
@Korora, the beach front property in Kansas in buried under layers of chalk. I think one of the tenants was called Tylosaurus.
There was a request for the details of the letter. It is slightly more intimidating than I said. I use symbolic html below, the bolding is in the original.
