Kansas Election Results 2026: Results certified by Dec 1

Kansas law requires voters to show photographic identification when voting in person, at advance voting sites and on Election Day. Accepted IDs include a Kansas or other state driver's license or nondriver ID card, a U.S. passport, a U.S. military ID, a concealed carry license, a government employee ID, a Kansas college or university student ID, a public assistance ID or a tribal ID. Voters 65 or older may use an expired photo ID, and voters with religious objections may sign an affidavit. Photo ID rules do not apply to military and overseas voters, mail-ballot elections or voters on the permanent advance voting list.

To register to vote in Kansas you must be a United States citizen, at least 18 years old, a resident of Kansas, and have completed the terms of any sentence from a felony conviction. Kansas voter registration books close 21 days before an election; registrations received during that period are not processed until after the election. The Secretary of State's pages reviewed do not describe a pre-registration age for younger residents.

In Kansas a federal or state felony conviction results in the loss of voting rights until the terms of the felony sentence are complete, including any probation, parole or other supervised release. A sentence is not considered complete until probation or parole is finished. Once the sentence is complete, voting rights are restored, but registration is not automatic: the person must register again by mail, in person or online. The Secretary of State advises people who are unsure whether their rights are restored, or who have unpaid fines, restitution or court costs, to check with the sentencing court.
