HB 2493 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Requiring a person transmitting or delivering a ballot on behalf of another voter to include such person's driver's license number in the written statement on the ballot envelope.

HB 2493 requires anyone delivering another voter's advance ballot to include their driver's license number in the written statement on the ballot envelope. It directly affects people who deliver ballots for others (e.g., family members, caregivers), mandating they provide their driver's license ID in the required written statement alongside the voter's authorization. Key provisions include limiting delivery to 10 ballots per election, prohibiting undue influence, and establishing penalties (felony for some violations, misdemeanor for exceeding limits). The bill amends Kansas election law to add these specific requirements to the ballot delivery process.
