If mailed, include either your driver&#8217;s license number or a copy of a photo ID.<\/p>\r\n<h2><b>What do I need to bring to the polls in Kansas?<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p>Kansas state law requires voters to provide a photo ID when voting in person. The photo ID should be valid at the time of voting. Some examples of acceptable forms of voter ID are as follows:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>U.S. passport<\/li>\r\n<li>Valid Kansas driver\u2019s license<\/li>\r\n<li>ID card issued by Kansas or other states<\/li>\r\n<li>U.S. military ID<\/li>\r\n<li>ID issued by government office<\/li>\r\n<li>Employee badge<\/li>\r\n<li>Student ID card<\/li>\r\n<li>Public assistance ID card<\/li>\r\n<li>Concealed carry license<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>The state of Kansas issues exemptions from the photo ID requirements for the following voters:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Military and overseas voters, along with their spouses and dependents<\/li>\r\n<li>Permanent advance voters or voters with illness or disabilities<\/li>\r\n<li>Voter with religious objections who signed a Declaration of Religious Objection<\/li>\r\n<li>Kansas voters age 65 and above may use an expired photo ID<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><b>What can I do if I do not have an approved government-issued ID?<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p>If you are a registered voter who does not have an approved government-issued photo ID, the Kansas Division of Motor Vehicles can issue you a nondriver identification card. You must complete a Certification Requesting Fee Waiver for Nondriver Identification Card (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ksrevenue.gov\/pdf\/DE-VID1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Form DE-VID1<\/a>). You can find this form at all DMV offices, county election offices, and online.<\/p>\r\n<h2><b>What special accommodations are available to Kansas voters?<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p>State and federal law require the voting process to be <a href=\"https:\/\/sos.ks.gov\/elections\/voter-information.html#:~:text=Voter%20Accessibility,and%20Seward%20Counties.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">accessible to all voters.<\/a> Each voting location should provide ballot accessibility to all voters. For instance, the locations should have at least one fully accessible machine. This machine should allow voters with disabilities to vote without assistance.<\/p>\r\n<p>Voters with disabilities may ask for assistance from their family member, friend, or companion. They can also ask for help from a poll worker at the voting location.<\/p>\r\n<p>The polling place should likewise be accessible for voters with disability. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) provided a checklist that the voting locations should follow. The location should have ramps, handrails, doorways, and voting booths that are wheelchair accessible.<\/p>\r\n<p>In addition, five counties in Kansas supply language assistance to voters who are members of a language minority group: Ford, Finney, Grant, Haskell, and Seward.<\/p>\r\n<p>You may visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/sos.ks.gov\/elections\/voter-information.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kansas Secretary of State&#8217;s website<\/a> to learn detailed election information about advance voting.<\/p>\r\n<h2><b>What do I do if I see something illegal at the polls?<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p>If you see or experience anything that seems illegal at the polls or have complaints about an election official, you should report it.<\/p>\r\n<p>Notify the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.voteks.org\/after-you-vote\/file-a-complaint.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kansas Secretary of State<\/a>&nbsp;if you:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Witness a crime such as voter fraud or intimidation<\/li>\r\n<li>Believe an election official broke the law or abused their discretion<\/li>\r\n<li>Experienced a violation of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eac.gov\/about\/help-america-vote-act\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Help America Vote Act<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>You can also contact an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lawyers.findlaw.com\/civil-rights\/kansas\/?fli=dcta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attorney experienced in voting laws<\/a>&nbsp;if you feel your voting rights have been violated.<\/p>\r\n<h2><b>You Don\u2019t Have To Solve This on Your Own \u2013 Seek Legal Advice<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p>Meeting with a lawyer can help you understand your options and how to protect your voting rights best.
