FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Am I registered to vote?  You should receive a voter card in the mail when your registration is official.  You can also check your registration online.

I completed my registration but I’m not on the voter list.  What should I do?

Do I need to provide proof of citizenship to register to vote? Documentary proof of citizenship is NOT required when registering to vote, per the Federal District Court ruling on June 18, 2018, by Judge Julie Robinson declaring the Kansas Documentary Proof of Citizenship law violated the National Voter Registration Act and the U.S. Constitution.

When are the dates for this year’s elections and related deadlines? The dates and deadlines for elections are in this guide to voting.  as of December 2019.  The League’s local calendar also has caucus, primary and election dates.

Do I have to register with a party? No. You may register with a party (Democrat, Republican, or Libertarian) or be “unaffiliated,” without a party.

Can I change my party registration at the polls?  If you are registered as a Democrat, Republican or Libertarian and want to change parties, you must make that change before June 1.  If you are unaffiliated and want to vote in the primary election, you must declare a party affiliation at the polls in order to vote.  In the general election, all parties share the same ballot so no party declaration is needed at the polls.

I have moved.  Do I need to cancel my Kansas voter registration?  You should cancel your registration to keep the voter rolls accurate. Your registration will eventually be cancelled when election mailings are returned and you fail to vote in several general elections – but it can take several years. Send your county election office a signed and dated card or letter stating that you wish to be removed from the voter rolls in that county. Include your name and the address where you were registered.

I want to register to vote but I do not want my name and address to be publicly available.  What do I do?  If you “…specify a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy or a threat to the voter’s safety,” you can write to your county election officer and request that your residence address be concealed from public inspection on the voter registration list and on the original voter registration application form. [K.S.A. 25-2309 (i)]

Also, if you are a victim of domestic violence, you can enroll in the “Safe at Home” program and shield your address in all your forms of government identification.
