How this guide is made

amendments

In Kansas, only the Legislature can put a constitutional amendment on the ballot. It needs a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate. Then voters decide. Kansas has no citizen petition process for statewide measures.

Candidates

The list of races and candidates is the 2026 General Election Candidate List ↗, in our own order (Democratic, Republican, then other parties), not the Secretary of State's order, with names as they appear on the ballot. Where a candidate lives comes from the Board's April 2026 candidate filing book. Each profile lists checkable facts with links to where they came from, the candidate's own stated priorities clearly labeled as theirs, and links to official records and campaign finance filings. We don't rate candidates, list endorsements, or publish polling.

Counties and local questions

This guide does not cover county and local races or local questions yet. Your sample ballot lists everything you will vote on.

Districts

District lines on the map come from U.S. Census Bureau files of the 2022 Kansas legislative maps in use for 2022-2030 (House: Freestate 3F plan; Senate: Liberty 3 plan; State Board of Education: Apple 7 plan). Your sample ballot is the final word.
