Have registered voters in Kansas increased in 2026? Just look at the numbers

Compared to the last midterm, over 50,000 more residents are registered to vote in the Sunflower State. Data from the Secretary of State shows that 2,027,520 people were registered to vote in Kansas as of Oct. 1. The deadline to register was Oct. 13. That’s a 52,330 increase from the 2022 midterm (in October), when the state total was 1,975,190. Missouri voter registration increased, too. In Kansas, 26% of the voters were registered with the Democratic Party in 2026, while 44% were registered with the Republican Party. These numbers nearly mirror the 2022 midterm, when 26% of Kansas voters were registered Democrats, while 45% of were on the Republican side. So if the Democratic and Republican voters are roughly the same, where did these other voters come from? Some of that uptick in voters come from an increase in people going the unaffiliated route: 578,791 of the 2026 Kansas voters did not choose a party, a 35,085 difference from 2022. Kansas actually had a decrease in voters registering with the Libertarian Party, with 339 fewer people compared to 2022. In its first year on the ballot, United Kansas had 107 registered voters. “The uptick in voter registration, I’m assuming has

Gov. Laura Kelly: I'm for Cindy Holscher - because Kansans can't afford to go back | Opinion

When I leave office in January, I will leave behind a Kansas that is fundamentally different from the one I inherited eight years ago. Then, Kansas was bankrupt and steeped in debt. The financial catastrophe made Kansas fodder for late-night comedy shows — but there was nothing funny about it to the ordinary families across our state who had to deal with the consequences. Since then, we’ve restored our state to financial health, balancing the budget while reducing the tax burden for all Kansans. The question before voters in November is simple: Do we protect that progress, or do we let it get dismantled and go back to the days of chronically underfunded schools, fiscal mismanagement, crumbling roads and bridges? For me, the answer is clear, and that is why I am supporting Cindy Holscher to be our next governor. Senate President Ty Masterson, the GOP nominee and Donald Trump’s choice in this race, has made it perfectly clear that he’d be another Sam Brownback, and no wonder: he was one of the proud architects of Brownback’s experiment to begin with. As the chair of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, Masterson took credit for writing the plan . When
