since you last voted…

Since 2020, it’s become harder to cast your ballot in Kansas. Here are the changes you need to pay attention to:

When making a plan to vote…

  • If you help another voter with returning their absentee ballot, you’ll now also have to sign an affidavit. You can also no longer return more than ten ballots total.

Moving forward…

  • Starting next year, election officials will start sending address confirmation notices to registered voters who don’t vote for four years straight. If they don’t hear a response, they will cancel those registrations. TL;DR – vote!

Now what?
