Register to vote by Tuesday, Oct 13, 2026 (online through the Kansas Department of Revenue site if you have a Kansas driver's license or ID card, or on a paper form); Kansas has no Election Day registration. In-person advance voting may begin as early as Oct 14 and must begin in every county by Oct 27, 2026; it ends at 12 noon on Monday, Nov 2 (check your county election office for locations and hours). Any registered voter can vote by mail without an excuse: your advance ballot application, with your driver's license number or a copy of your photo ID, must reach your county election office by Tuesday, Oct 27, 2026. Under state law, mail ballots must be received by your county election office, an authorized drop box in your county, or any polling place in your county by the close of polls on Nov 3; a Douglas County district court injunction would also count ballots postmarked by Election Day that arrive by the Friday after, but the Secretary of State's request to stay it for the general election is pending, so the Secretary urges voters to return ballots by the close of polls. Polls are open at least 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (some counties open earlier or close later). Bring a photo ID (such as a driver's license or state ID, U.S. passport, military ID, tribal ID, Kansas college student ID, or concealed carry license); without one you'll vote a provisional ballot. Check your registration, polling place and sample ballot on VoterView.

Measures and recalls
Kansas voters will decide a proposed amendment to Article 5, Section 1 of the Kansas Constitution, which sets the qualifications of voters. The Legislature placed it on the ballot through House Concurrent Resolution 5004, adopted by two-thirds of both chambers, which directs that it be submitted at the November 2026 general election. Per the official explanatory statement, a yes vote would clarify that only a person who is a citizen of the United States is eligible to vote in Kansas, and a no vote would make no change to the constitution.
