Voter Registration and Advanced Voting

To Vote in Kansas you must first be registered to vote.

Voter Registration

Each of the 105 counties in Kansas has a county election officer responsible for conducting all official elections held in the county.

All government offices that provide services to the public should also have voter registration forms. Under the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) these offices should offer voter registration when you apply for services.  There should be a voter registration site sign in the window or inside the offices.  

For Voter Registration Deadlines call your election office or county clerk's office.  In Kansas Sedgwick, Shawnee, Johnson and Wyandotte counties are large enough to have election offices.  If you live in another county, you contact your county clerk.    

Vote registration deadline for the 2020 general election in November is October 13.

Each county maintains a list of registered voters, and the secretary of state maintains a statewide list. This data is available for purchase by filling out a CVR form.

Assistive Technology
Each county chooses its voting system from a list of equipment certified by the secretary of state. The office also compiles a list of what voting system each county uses.

State law requires that the election process be accessible to all voters.
