The United Kansas Party was officially recognized after submitting petition signatures of registered voters that surpassed 2% of total votes cast in the gubernatorial election in 2022. The new party would be able to nominate candidates and register voters under the United Kansas name.

United Kansas organizer Jack Curtis said the party’s organizers were interested in building the argument for fusion voting — an idea that would enable United Kansas to cross-nominate Republican or Democratic candidates. Litigation may be necessary to implement the concept, he said.  If the nomination system was approved in Kansas, he said, votes would be tallied separately by party and added together to produce final results.
