Kansas HB2494 allows nonpartisan candidates to include their political party affiliation on the ballot.

Kansas HB2494 amends the state's election laws to permit candidates for nonpartisan offices to include their political party affiliation on the ballot alongside their name. This change applies to candidates for offices other than national, state, county, or township positions. The bill modifies K.S.A. 25-613 to allow for this inclusion, while also repealing the existing section to integrate the new provision. The amendment takes effect upon publication in the Kansas Register.
