Kansas Legislature Adjourns Without Passing Any Election Law Bills

On June 2, at 2:15 a.m., the Kansas legislature adjourned for the year without having passed any election law bills. The Secretary of State had asked the legislature to repeal the law making it illegal for out-of-state residents to circulate petitions in Kansas, because that law had been held unconstitutional. That bill, HB 2130, had passed the House in February by a vote of 118-1, but the Senate never took it up.

Other bills that failed to pass include SB 64 and HB 2210, which would have imposed stricter limits on when voters may switch political party affiliation.
