HB 2640 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Requiring the secretary of state to conduct periodic checks to compare the statewide voter registration system against the federal systematic alien verification for entitlements (SAVE) database and submit an annual report to the legislature on the outcomes of such checks.

HB 2640 requires Kansas' Secretary of State to conduct two annual checks comparing the statewide voter registration database against the federal SAVE database (which verifies immigration status for benefits). This process flags potential noncitizen registrations for county election officials to verify, with voters notified and placed in "pending verification" status before any removal. The bill mandates an annual report to the legislature by January 31, detailing the number of checks performed, flagged voters, removed registrations, and recommendations for improving accuracy. It applies directly to state and county election officials managing voter rolls, while ensuring secure handling of personal data and compliance with privacy standards.
