Kansas SB6 bans the use of ranked-choice voting methods in all elections.

Kansas SB6 prohibits the use of ranked-choice voting methods in all elections, including federal, state, county, and municipal offices.

Any existing ordinances, resolutions, or regulations that allow this voting method and were adopted before July 1, 2025, are declared null and void. The act takes effect immediately upon publication in the statute book.
