Requiring applications for advance voting ballots be filed by the 14th day prior to election day, that advance voting in person be completed by 12:00 p.m. on the Sunday prior to election day, extending the time for transmittal of advance voting ballots to 22 days prior to an election and ending the time for voter registration at 23 days prior to election day.

HB 2453 changes Kansas election deadlines for advance voting ballots. It requires advance ballot applications to be filed by the 14th day before an election, ends in-person advance voting at 12:00 p.m. on the Sunday before election day, extends ballot transmittal deadlines to 22 days prior, and sets voter registration to close 23 days before election day. These changes apply directly to Kansas voters seeking to vote by mail or in person before election day. The bill amends specific Kansas election statutes to establish these new timing requirements for ballot applications, voting windows, and registration cutoffs.
