The bill amends K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 25-1122 to establish new regulations regarding the application process for advance voting ballots in Kansas. It allows registered voters to apply for advance voting ballots through various means, including personal delivery, mail, or facsimile. The bill specifies that voters must provide valid identification when applying for ballots, whether in person or by mail, and outlines the conditions under which provisional ballots may be cast. Additionally, it sets specific timeframes for when applications for advance voting ballots can be submitted for different types of elections and allows for the designation of satellite advance voting sites.

Significant changes include the requirement for county election officers to verify the signature of individuals requesting advance voting ballots by mail, with exceptions for voters with disabilities. The bill also introduces penalties for individuals who mail applications for advance voting ballots without being residents of the state. Furthermore, it repeals the previous version of K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 25-1122, indicating a comprehensive update to the advance voting process. The act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
