Voter Identification in Kansas

This next election will be the first statewide test of the new voter ID law.  Any person registering to vote will be required to provide proof of Unites States citizenship.  As of January 1, 2012, all citizens voting in person must show photo identification.  To educate the public about the new voter requirements, the Secretary of State’s office will be touring the state to provide information.
