House Concurrent Resolution No. 5027 proposes an amendment to the Kansas Constitution to establish an electoral college system for electing the governor and lieutenant governor. Under this system, each of the 40 state senate districts would have one elector, who would be pledged to vote for the candidate pair (governor and lieutenant governor) that receives the highest number of votes in their district. To win the election, a candidate pair must secure a majority of the electoral votes, which is defined as at least 21 votes. If no pair achieves this majority, the legislature would elect the governor and lieutenant governor from the top two pairs based on electoral votes.

The resolution outlines the qualifications for electors, who must be residents of their respective districts and nominated by political parties or independent candidates. It also mandates that the legislature will create laws to implement the electoral college system, including procedures for electors, handling ties, and enforcing penalties for electors who do not adhere to their pledges. The proposed amendment will be presented to voters during the general election in November 2028, unless a special election is called sooner. The ballot will include an explanatory statement detailing the implications of the amendment for voters.
