Become a Poll Worker Today

It’s never too early to help democracy! By signing up to be a poll worker, you can ensure that all voters—including voters with disabilities, voters who need language assistance, and voters who want to cast their ballot in person—have a positive experience at the polls. Sign up today!

To be eligible to vote you must be:

  • A United States citizen
  • 18 years of age or older (you may register to vote when you are 17 years old, however, you may not vote in any election until you're 18 years old)
  • A Kansas resident

Incarcerated Voters & Returning Citizens: 

In Kansas, a felony conviction results in the loss of voting rights until the terms of the felony sentence is complete. Your right to vote is restored immediately after you are released from prison and have completed any court-ordered supervision, probation, or parole. The voter registration form includes an affidavit above the signature line attesting that an individual’s right to vote has been restored. Pretrial detention and misdemeanor convictions do not restrict your voting rights. 

Voters without traditional residence: 

It is not mandatory for citizens to possess a "permanent home" for voter registration. A citizen can provide an alternative description of their residence, even if they are experiencing homelessness, as long as it enables the authorities to identify and assign a voting precinct to them. This precinct assignment ensures that the voter receives the appropriate ballot. The mailing address on their registration form can be a PO box, local shelter, advocacy organization, outreach center, or the home of someone who will accept mail for them.
