Kansas Legislature Passes Presidential Primary Bill

On May 6, both houses of the Kansas legislature passed HB 2683. It provides for a presidential primary in 2012 on the first Saturday in February. It also requires voters to show government photo-ID to vote at the polls. The vote in the Senate was 24-8, but in the House it was much closer (64-59). It is not known if Governor Kathleen Sebelius, a Democrat, will sign the bill. Kansas is one of the 10 states that didn’t hold a presidential primary this year.
