Voter Education

There are four ways you can vote in the state of Kansas:

1. In Person - Find your polling location to vote on Election Day by using the VoterView tool or by contacting your county election office. Polling locations are usually open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., as they are in Wyandotte and Leavenworth counties, but counties may choose to open one hour earlier or close one hour later. Check to make sure that you have the proper identification needed in order to vote.  Photo ID 101 guide in Spanish.
2. In Person Early Voting - In Kansas, it is possible to cast your ballot before Election Day. In-person early voting is available beginning 20 days before every Election Day and lasts until Friday, November 2nd at 12 p.m. for the 2020 Presidential/General Election. Refer to your county election office for early voting center locations and hours.
3. Advanced Ballot Drop-off – You must first request your ballot be sent to you in the mail. Refer to your county election office for early voting center locations and hours.
4. Voting by Mail - In order to do so, you must complete an application for an advance ballot and include your driver’s license number or a copy of your photo identification. The deadline to submit advance voting applications to your county election official is November 1 for the 2022 Midterm/General Election. Ballots will be mailed to those who apply beginning October 9. All ballots must be postmarked on or before Election Day and received in the county election office by the close of business on the Friday following the election. You may also check to verify your ballot status at VoterView.
