The bill amends K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 25-1122, which governs the application process for advance voting ballots in Kansas. It allows any registered voter to file an application for an advance voting ballot with their county election officer, specifying that applications can be submitted via personal delivery, mail, or facsimile. The bill outlines the identification requirements for voters applying for ballots to be transmitted by mail or in person, including the necessity of providing a current Kansas driver's license number or other valid identification. It also establishes procedures for provisional ballots if a voter's identification cannot be verified or if their application details do not match the registration records.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the timing of applications for advance voting ballots, stipulating specific periods for different types of elections. It mandates that county election officers maintain a list of applicants for advance voting and outlines the process for individuals with permanent disabilities to apply for permanent advance voting status. The bill also introduces new requirements for mail solicitations related to advance voting applications, including clear labeling and identification of the sender. It repeals the previous version of K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 25-1122, ensuring that the updated regulations take effect upon publication in the statute book.
