   What if I moved since the last time I voted?

   If you moved to a new address in the same county, update your information as soon as possible. If you move after the registration deadline, you may vote at the precinct assigned to your old address, but you will be required to complete a new voter registration application.

   If you moved to a new county in Kansas before the registration deadline, you must complete a new voter registration application. If you move after the registration deadline, you can still vote at the precinct assigned to your old address, but you will be required to complete a new voter registration application.

   If you move to Kansas from another state, register to vote in Kansas as soon as possible. If the deadline to register has passed, you may vote a president-only ballot at your local election office by noon on the day before the election.
