The bill amends current election laws in Kansas to ensure that individuals who are active military members, or the spouses or dependents of active military members, cannot be disqualified from serving as poll workers based on their residency or registered voter status. This provision aims to broaden the pool of eligible poll workers by recognizing the unique circumstances of military families. Additionally, the bill clarifies that while residency and voter status cannot be used as disqualifying factors, other qualifications based on age remain applicable as outlined in existing law.

Furthermore, the bill defines "active military member" as any person serving full-time in the armed forces of the United States, which includes members of the national guard and reserve. The act will take effect immediately upon its publication in the statute book, thereby ensuring that these provisions can be implemented in upcoming elections.
