VOTING
People with
disabilities have certain protected rights –
including the right to vote.
KSDISABILITYVOTE.ORG
is a project of DRC Kansas to help you get
registered to vote
and understand your rights!
To Vote in Kansas you MUST be Registered to
Vote!
To Register to Vote, Print Off & Mail-in a Form:
ENGLISH VOTER REGISTRATION FORM

Secretary of State’s Online Voter Registration
To register online you must have a valid
Kansas driver’s license.
Registering to Vote – Facts & Myths
Fact – Your registration form must be sent to your
COUNTY ELECTION OFFICE
and postmarked at least 15 days prior to the election for you to
be able to vote.
Fact – If you have moved since the last time you voted, you
should submit a new registration form.
Myth – “If you register to vote you will be called for jury
duty.” This is false. The potential pool for jury duty comes
from those who have either a Kansas drivers license / I.D. card
OR are registered to vote. So, if you have a Kansas I.D. or
drivers license, you are already in the pool for potential jury
duty. Registering to vote won’t change that.
Myth – “I’m only 17 years old, so there is no way for me to
register to vote.” This is false. IF you will be 18 years old
on the day of the election, you can register to vote NOW and you
can VOTE on election day!
Vote at Home / Vote by Mail:
Kansans with a permanent disability can choose to vote at their
accessible polling place OR vote in the privacy of their own
home by being mailed an advanced ballot for each future
election.
PERMANENT ADVANCE BALLOT REQUEST FORM
Mail your permanent advance ballot
request form to your
COUNTY ELECTION OFFICER
