Kansas sample ballot structure
A sectioned sketch of contests that often appear. It is incomplete, may be outdated, and is not a substitute for the sample ballot issued by the county or state election office.
Federal contests
Federal offices that appear depend on the 2026 cycle and the congressional district. This is a structured sketch of offices that are on the regular calendar — not an official ballot.

- Map the Midterms does not yet publish a candidate list for this office.
- Qualified names are on the official sample ballot.
U.S. House
- A House district is assigned by official maps and the registered address.
- The district number is on the county sample ballot.
- House.gov and the election office publish the district for an address.
Statewide offices
Governors and other statewide constitutional offices appear only when the office is on this cycle and the candidate is qualified.

- Not every office appears in every precinct, and vacancy or special elections can change the list.

State legislature
State Senate and State House / Assembly districts are address-specific. Map the Midterms does not assign your legislative district.
State Senate and State House / Assembly
- District numbers and names appear on the official sample ballot.
- Some seats are not on the ballot every cycle (staggered Senate terms, for example).
County, city, school, and judicial
Local contests are the most variable part of a ballot. This site does not collect your address or precinct.
Local and judicial contests
- County commission, mayor, school board, and judicial races depend on your jurisdiction.
- The county or municipal election office publishes the jurisdiction’s list.
Ballot measures
Initiatives, referenda, amendments, and local questions appear only if they are certified for that ballot. This site does not reprint unofficial measure text as if it were certified.
Statewide and local questions
- If measures qualify, official ballot titles and summaries control.
- Official ballot titles and summaries are in the pamphlet or sample ballot issued by the election office.
- The Secretary of State’s candidate-information page lists all 4 U.S. Representative seats, State Senate District 24, and all 125 State Representative seats for 2026. The district depends on the address.
- That page lists State Board of Education seats 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9.
- That page lists 1 Kansas Supreme Court justice, 6 Kansas Court of Appeals judges, district court judges (45 retained, 29 elected), and district magistrate judges (15 retained, 5 elected). Each of those judicial lines is marked on the page as of July 1, 2025.
- The proposed-constitutional-amendments page says one constitutional amendment will be voted on at the November 3, 2026 general election. That page’s explanatory statement says the amendment would clarify that only a citizen of the United States is eligible to vote in the state. The question text is on that page.
- The candidate-list page says the table is updated automatically as each candidate files a valid petition or declaration of intention. This hub lists offices from the candidate-information page and does not list candidate names.
