In order to vote, you simply must register. Kansas applies the same rules whether you were convicted of a federal or state crime. The same rules apply for Kansas voters even if the conviction occurred in another state. If you move to another state, your right to vote will be controlled by the laws of that state. To register to vote in Kansas, you must be a U.S. citizen, a Kansas resident, and be at least 18 years of age before the next statewide general election.
Registration is available year round in Kansas.
However, in order to vote in an election, you must have registered at least 15 days in advance of the election. Registration is available at many places in Kansas, including the County Clerk's office, post offices and libraries, and many public buildings. In addition, you can register to vote at most public service agencies when applying to receive services. This pamphlet is provided for informational purposes only, as an aid to further inquiry.
