Law Regarding Party Affiliation Change

At this time we are unable to accept any request to change party affiliation. By law, from

noon on June 1 through September 1, anyone affiliated with the Democratic, Republican,

or Libertarian party may not switch to another party or elect to become unaffiliated.

If you still wish to change your party affiliation after the August Primary Election, you will

need to resubmit another voter registration application after September 1.

The Kansas Legislature passed a law in 2014 which prohibits voters from switching parties

or disaffiliating from a party during the time from the candidate filing deadline through

the time when the primary election results are certified by the State Board of Canvassers.
