Summary

Changing several election deadlines, including when advanced ballots can be mailed out; adjusting time for applications for advanced ballots; and shortening the window for voter registration.

By making significant changes to important voting deadlines and procedures, this bill risks confusion and disenfranchisement. It combines a harmful proposal that would limit early voting opportunities with limited attempts at addressing real pitfalls in Kansas election law.
