Kansas Voter Information from the KS Secretary of State website

Kansas elections are conducted by the counties with oversight by the Secretary of State's office. Voter registration application (español) forms must be submitted to the county election officer where the applicant lives. The deadline to register to vote is the fifteenth day before any election.

Counties are required to post a Voter Rights and Responsibilities poster (español) and Notice to Voters (español) at each polling place on Election Day. Each county maintains a list of registered voters, and the secretary of state maintains a statewide list.
