FAQs about voting in Kansas

from the KS Secretary of State website.

Q. Do I have to live in Kansas for a certain amount of time to be eligible to vote?

A. No, Kansas does not have a length of residence requirement. However, you have to be registered 21 days prior to an election and be a resident of Kansas at the time of registration.

Q. Can I pre-register if I will be 18 years old before the next election?

Q. What are the disqualifications for voting in Kansas?

A. Individuals may be found disqualified to vote by reason of death, federal or state felony conviction or by declaration of a Kansas Court of Law.

Q. I have a felony conviction, can I vote?

A. A federal or state felony conviction results in the loss of voting rights until the terms of the felony sentence is complete. If on probation or parole, a sentence is not considered complete until your probation or parole is finished.

Individuals who lose their voting rights due to a felony conviction may re-register to vote upon completion of their sentence. The voter registration form includes an affidavit above the signature line attesting an individual’s right to vote has been restored. Signing a false affidavit is a felony and could result in the loss of voting rights, if convicted.
