In Kansas, when people are convicted of a felony, they lose the ability to vote—this is called "felony disenfranchisement." What many people don't know is that after you've completed your sentence (including any term of supervised release), you can vote. 

Our Kansas voter restoration project, Restore My Vote, seeks to ensure every eligible voter has the tools to be an active part of their community and make their voice heard. Kansas’s partial felony disenfranchisement does more than legally prevent Kansans from voting during their sentence – even after they become eligible again, it creates confusion, obstacles to vote, and discourages them from persisting even if denied incorrectly. Some community members have reported that when registering to vote with their local election offices after becoming eligible, they were initially denied based on outdated court records. 

If you have completed your sentence, including probation and parole, you can register to vote. This means you've completed any incarceration, probation, or parole and have been officially discharged. This does not include registration as an offender under KORA -- being required to register under KORA does not disqualify you from registering to vote because it is not considered part of your sentence.
