Welcome to FindLaw's Kansas Voter Guide. Here, we will answer questions about your eligibility to vote, voter registration, absentee ballots, how to find your polling place, what to bring to the polls, accommodations, and what to do if you see illegal activity at the polls.
Am I eligible to vote in Kansas?
To vote in Kansas elections, you must be:
- A citizen of the United States
- A Kansas resident
- A least 18 years old on Election Day
Convicted felons in Kansas have their voting rights restored automatically once their sentence is served. They must still re-register to vote.
Where Do I Vote?
The Kansas Secretary of State's office offers this guide to find polling places in the state.
