What's the registration deadline?
October 13, 2026 — twenty-one days before the November 3 general election. Register online, by mail, or in person at any county clerk's office.
Do I need a photo ID to vote?
Yes. Kansas requires a valid government-issued photo ID. Acceptable forms include a driver's license or non-driver ID issued by Kansas or another state, a U.S. passport, a U.S. military ID, a concealed-carry license, a government employee ID, a public-assistance ID, a Native American tribal ID, or a photo ID issued by any accredited Kansas postsecondary institution. Voters 65 and older may use an expired photo ID. See the full list at sos.ks.gov.
When can I vote early?
Advance in-person voting begins October 14 and must be available in every county by October 27; it ends November 2, 2026. Hours and locations vary by county — check with your county clerk.
I just moved. What do I need to update?
If you moved within Kansas, update your registration by the same October 13 deadline. Update online through the state's voter registration portal, the Register to vote button above.
I just turned 18. How do I register?
Register online through the state's voter registration portal, the Register to vote button above. The online form requires a Kansas driver's license or non-driver ID; if you don't have one yet, register with the paper form instead, by mail or in person at your county clerk's office.
