This bill amends K.S.A. 12-184b to extend the voter franchise to qualified electors living in areas subject to extraterritorial zoning or subdivision regulations. It stipulates that any city with such regulations must consider these territories as part of the city for all city elections, allowing qualified electors residing in these areas to participate in the electoral process. Additionally, the bill outlines that the voting area for any city governing body member elected at large will include these territories, and if members are elected by district, at least one district must encompass the area outside the city limits.

The bill also includes a deletion of the word "which" in subsection (b) to clarify the language regarding cities that have operated under a form of government for four or more years. Furthermore, it repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 12-184b, indicating a significant update to the law governing city elections and the inclusion of voters from extraterritorial areas. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
