A new law passed in 2014 by the Kansas Legislature prohibits party members from switching parties during a period beginning June 1, through the date when the results of the August primary are certified.

Registered voters who are affiliated with a party (Democratic, Republican, Libertarian)may not file paperwork to change their
party affiliations from June 1 through August of this year.

A registered voter who is unaffiliated may, however, affiliate with a party during this period, when voting at the primary, or when requesting an advance ballot. For more information call the Seward County Clerk’s Office at 620-626-3355.
