The bill amends K.S.A. 25-1132 regarding the handling of advance voting ballots in Kansas. It specifies that all advance voting ballots received by the county election officer or polling places by the closing time on election day must be delivered to the appropriate special election board. Additionally, it establishes that advance voting ballots received by mail after the polls close, but postmarked by election day, will also be delivered for canvassing, with a new deadline set for 7:00 p.m. on the day of the election.

Furthermore, the bill repeals the existing K.S.A. 25-1132, indicating a significant change in the legal framework governing advance voting ballots. The Secretary of State is tasked with adopting rules and regulations to implement the new provisions outlined in the amended section. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
