REGISTRATION & VOTING

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. This data is available for purchase by filling out a CVR form.

Each county chooses its voting system from a list of equipment certified by the secretary of state. Our office also compiles a list of what voting system each county uses. All certified systems must meet the requirements of the national voting system standards. Maps of national and state districts also are available to ensure you have all the information you need about voting matters.
