House Substitute for SB 392 by Committee on Elections - Establishing reasons for withdrawal of candidacy from national, state and local offices, concerning vacancies in the joint candidacy of the governor and lieutenant governor, requiring driver's licenses to reflect citizenship status, requiring provisional ballots be provided to persons showing a driver's license reflecting noncitizenship, require state agencies required by federal law to provide voter registration services to provide quarterly reports to the secretary of state listing noncitizens receiving public benefits.

SB 392 prohibits filling vacancies in joint gubernatorial and lieutenant governor candidacies after they are filed, requiring the remaining candidate to form a new joint ticket with another person if a vacancy occurs. For local elections (city, school district, and community college offices), it restricts candidate withdrawals to cases of severe medical hardship (with physician certification) or loss of residency, with all withdrawal requests needing submission by September 1 of the election year. The bill affects candidates running for these specific local and statewide offices by standardizing withdrawal procedures and preventing mid-campaign replacement of joint candidates. It amends Kansas election statutes to clarify these rules for school boards, city councils, and community college trustees.
