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.

SB 336 establishes a presidential preference primary election in Kansas every four years, beginning in 2028. It aligns all March special elections (held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in March) with this presidential primary date. The bill amends election statutes (including K.S.A. 25-432 and 25-2311) to remove restrictions preventing March special elections from occurring on the same day as the presidential primary. This change affects all Kansas voters participating in these elections, as it standardizes the schedule for presidential primaries and March special elections. The key mechanism is updating election date rules to synchronize these events, eliminating prior conflicts.
