What address should I use to register?
Kansas requires that you register with an address of a physical location where you reside. The address must correspond to a place that can be occupied and you should provide a street address if at all possible.
Can I register at a P.O. Box?
No, Kansas law requires you to register at a place where you reside and that can be occupied.
I don't have a permanent residence right now, what address do I use to register?
You can use the address of any location where you regularly stay including a shelter, house of worship, or park. Although it is not required, it is best to register at an address where you regularly stay AND can receive mail so that you can receive notifications about polling location changes, respond to inquiries about your residency, and receive notice of any problems with an absentee ballot.
