Kansas Citizenship Voting Requirement Amendment |
The Kansas Citizenship Voting Requirement Amendment is a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that will appear on the ballot in the U.S. state of Kansas on November 3, 2026. If approved, it would amend Article 5, Section 1 of the Kansas Constitution to prohibit non-citizens from voting, along with requiring citizens to be eighteen years old and reside in the area in which they seek to vote.[1] A yes vote would be in favor of amending the Kansas Constitution, and a no vote would be against amending the constitution.[2]
