Election Day is today for the Kansas presidential preference primary.
Voters will need to cast ballots between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. at their assigned polling locations.
It is just the third time that voters in Kansas will take part in a presidential preference primary.
According to the Kansas Secretary of State’s website, a preference primary is “an election where the vote totals are given to a political party to allocate delegates to candidates at the national convention. This is not a primary where the voters selected the party candidate.”
The deadline to request a mail-in ballot has already passed, but voters who did receive one will have to return it to the election office or a polling site by the time polls close today.
Despite the results of the prior primaries, four candidates will still appear on both the Republican and Democratic ballots.
Democratic candidates
Dean Phillips
Joseph R. Biden Jr.
Marianne Williamson
Jason Michael Palmer
Republican candidates
Donald J. Trump
Ryan L. Binkley
Nikki R. Haley
Ron DeSantis
Voters also have the option to choose "None of the Names Shown."
Voters can find a sample ballot at myvoteinfo.voteks.org, and people with questions are encouraged to contact your local election office.
