Extending voter franchise in city elections to qualified electors living in areas subject to extraterritorial zoning or subdivision regulations.

SB 83 extends voting rights in city elections to residents living outside a city's official boundaries but subject to the city's zoning or subdivision regulations. It directly affects qualified voters in these regulated areas and requires cities to count them as city voters for all elections. The bill amends Kansas law to mandate that cities consider such territory part of the city for election purposes, including for at-large and district-based voting. This changes current practice by ensuring residents in regulated areas can vote in city elections they previously could not.
