Voters urged to bring photo ID in Kansas primaries
Voters in Kansas face a new government ID rule for the Republican and Democratic primaries as polls open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Those without a photo ID can cast provisional ballots and have seven days to present proper ID. Secretary of State Kris Kobach promotes the requirement amid expectations of low turnout and political battles to defeat certain Republican senators.
