On May 18, the Kansas Secretary of State removed No Labels Party from the ballot and said the party’s 2026 nominees will not appear on the ballot. He also converted all the party’s registrants into independents, without even advising them of the change. On May 28, the party’s state chair filed a lawsuit to keep the party alive. Miller v Schwab, Shawnee County District Court, 5N2026cv510. Here is the party’s brief.

The Kansas Secretary of State acted as he did because the party’s former officer asked him to remove the party. That former officer is now a registered Republican. The current officers were elected at a state convention earlier this year.
