Kansas does not offer same-day voter registration, so be sure to submit your voter registration before the deadline.

State law requires Kansas voters to show photographic identification when casting a vote in person. 

The following documents may be used to meet photo ID requirements for voting: 

• Driver’s license or ID card issued by Kansas or another state 
• U.S. passport
• U.S. military ID 
• ID card issued by a Native American tribe 
• Employee badge or ID issued by a government office 
• Student ID card from an accredited postsecondary education institution in Kansas

Exemptions from photo ID requirements exist for permanent advance voters (voters with illness or disabilities); military and overseas voters and their spouses and dependents; and voters with religious objections who sign a Declaration of Religious Objection (Form DRO). Voters age 65 or older may use an expired photo ID.

Voters without ID may be able to vote provisionally.
