House Substitute for SB231 by Committee on Elections - Changing the timing of city, school, community college and certain other municipality elections to fall in even-numbered years and requiring the term of office of municipal elected officials to be either two years or four years.

SB 231 modifies Kansas election law to change how voters apply for mail-in advance voting ballots. It requires voters submitting mail applications to provide a Kansas driver's license number, nondriver's ID number, or a copy of acceptable ID (per K.S.A. 25-2908), and mandates signature verification against voter records before mail ballots are sent. The bill also clarifies application deadlines for different election types (primary, general, special) and specifies that provisional ballots may be used if ID isn't provided upfront. These changes directly affect Kansas registered voters who request advance ballots by mail, streamlining the application process while adding specific ID and verification requirements.
