The bill amends K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 25-1122 to enhance the process of advance voting in Kansas, particularly focusing on the four largest counties: Johnson, Sedgwick, Shawnee, and Wyandotte. It mandates that these counties establish at least three satellite advance voting sites and provide in-person early voting for 20 days prior to elections. The bill outlines the procedures for registered voters to apply for advance voting ballots, including requirements for identification and the verification of signatures. It also specifies the timeline for submitting applications for advance voting ballots and allows for the designation of additional satellite voting sites.

Additionally, the bill introduces provisions for voters with permanent disabilities to apply for permanent advance voting status and establishes a process for maintaining and inspecting lists of applicants. It includes regulations on the solicitation of advance voting ballot applications by mail, requiring clear disclosures to prevent confusion with government mailings. The bill repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 25-1122, thereby updating the legal framework governing advance voting in Kansas.
