In order to register to vote you must complete a voter registration application (Español). This form can also be obtained at your county election office or the Secretary of State's office.
Voter registration is available at hundreds of places statewide. Some sites are required by law and others may be designated by the county election officer. These sites include many banks, grocery stores, libraries, public events such as county fairs and city offices.
The Kansas voter registration application also is used to update registration records, such as name changes, address changes, or party affiliation changes.
To complete the form: Read and carefully answer all required questions. Once the voter registration form has been completed and signed, you may return it by mail or hand-deliver it to your county election office. If you do not check the citizen box or provide your address and birth date the form will be rejected. If any other information is incomplete, you may receive a call from the county election office asking for more information.
The deadline to register to vote for any election is 15 days prior to that election. You may not change your party affiliation after that date. Applications postmarked by that day must be accepted and processed for that election. If the postmark is missing or illegible, the application will be accepted only if received in the election office by the ninth day before the election. Applications received during the 14-day period when registration is closed will not be valid for that election. These applications will be processed beginning the day after the election.

The county election office will mail you a certificate of registration after processing your application. It is important that you make sure the information on your certificate of registration is accurate. If the information is correct, sign the certificate and carry it with you. If any information is incorrect, you need to contact your county election office.
How to conduct a voter registration drive: A person/organization wanting to conduct a voter registration drive may obtain a supply of voter registration applications and distribute them, but they should be mindful of laws governing distribution of applications and timely transmittal to the election office. Training includes how to instruct applicants on completing the application and the requirements for returning it to the respective county election office.
