House Concurrent Resolution No. 5004 proposes an amendment to the Kansas Constitution that would establish specific qualifications for individuals seeking to vote in the state. The resolution stipulates that only U.S. citizens who are at least 18 years old and residents of the voting area in which they wish to vote would be deemed qualified electors. The amendment aims to clarify voter eligibility and ensure that only citizens can participate in elections within Kansas.

If approved by a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, the proposed amendment will be placed on the ballot for the general election in November 2026, unless a special election is called sooner. The ballot will include an explanatory statement indicating that a vote in favor of the amendment would affirm the requirement for U.S. citizenship to vote, while a vote against it would maintain the current language regarding voter qualifications in the Kansas Constitution.
