Including funeral home online obituary notices as sufficient grounds for removal of a deceased voter from the voter registration books; requiring that poll workers be citizens of the United States and live within the state of Kansas; prohibiting the disqualification of active military members, spouses or other dependents who are citizens of the United States as poll workers on the basis of residency or being a registered voter; relating to advance voting ballot applications; modifying the requirements for soliciting registered voters to submit advance voting applications.

HB 2016 amends Kansas voter registration rules to allow online obituary notices from county funeral homes as official proof of death for removing deceased voters from registration lists, replacing the previous requirement for printed newspaper notices. It also requires all poll workers to be U.S. citizens who reside in Kansas and prohibits disqualifying active military members, spouses, or dependents as poll workers based on residency or voter registration status. The bill modifies advance voting ballot application rules, though specific changes to these processes are not detailed in the provided text. These provisions directly affect county election officers, poll workers, and voters whose registration may be updated or removed based on the new criteria.
