The bill amends K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 25-2502 to clarify the definitions and timing of special elections in Kansas. It defines a "special election" as any election that is not classified as a general or primary election, which includes mail ballot elections. The bill specifies that a special election cannot be held within 45 days of a general or primary election but allows for a special election to occur on the same day as these elections. Additionally, the bill repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 25-2502, indicating a comprehensive update to the legal framework governing elections in the state. The changes aim to streamline the election process and provide clearer guidelines for when special elections can be conducted. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
