Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 1608 proposes an amendment to the Kansas Constitution that would establish specific qualifications for individuals seeking to vote in the state. The amendment 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 will be considered qualified electors. It also includes provisions for voting in presidential elections, allowing citizens who may have temporarily moved out of the state to still vote for presidential electors and candidates, provided they meet certain federal requirements.

If approved by a two-thirds majority in both the Kansas Senate and House of Representatives, the resolution will be placed on the ballot for the general election in November 2026, or at an earlier special election if called. The ballot will include an explanatory statement clarifying the amendment's intent, which is to reinforce the eligibility criteria for voters in Kansas. A vote in favor of the amendment would implement these changes, while a vote against it would maintain the current language regarding voter qualifications in the state constitution.
