Kansas Senate weigh bill to end mail ballot grace period
Legislation in the Kansas Senate would end the three day grace period for mail in ballots requiring receipt by 7 p m on Election Day to count. Senate Bill 4 mirrors a vetoed 2023 proposal and revival follows a 2017 move to allow postmark based counting. Critics cite partisan impact and lack of voter education funding.
