Statute 25-2354: Check of the registration records of voters by chief state
election officer or county election officer.
(a) Once
each calendar year a check of the registration records of voters in the state
of
Kansas
shall be commenced by the chief state election official or the county election
officer by
comparing such records to the National Change of Address files. A county
election officer may complete one or more checks each calendar year. If the
chief
state election official performs the check, any
discrepancies discovered in the check shall be reported
to the appropriate county election officer, who shall initiate the confirmation
process prescribed by
K.S.A. 25-2316c, and amendments thereto, within 45
days. As an alternative to participation in the national change of address
program, the county election officer may conduct mass or targeted mailings to
registered voters to obtain information upon which to base the confirmation
mailings.
(b) The chief state
election official may adopt rules and regulations to carry out the
provisions of this section.
