Providing for a presidential preference primary election every four years commencing in 2028 and aligning the special election date in March with the presidential preference primary election date.

HB 2447 establishes a presidential preference primary election in Kansas every four years starting in 2028, replacing the current March special election date for local races. It amends election statutes to require that all local special elections (such as school board or city council votes) held in March must now occur on the same date as the presidential preference primary. This change directly affects Kansas voters participating in local elections and election administrators managing voting schedules. The bill creates a new election date alignment, eliminating separate March special elections for local offices by merging them with the presidential primary cycle. It does not change voting procedures or voter eligibility, only the timing of certain local elections.
