Kansas Election Coverage: 2024

Published August 19, 2024 at 3:40 PM CDT

Welcome to KPR's 2024 Election landing page. This is where you'll find Kansas general election results, Kansas primary results, DNC and RNC coverage, and more.

Reminder: Election results often require patience. Mail voting has been on the rise in recent elections, and mail ballots require verification. It’s not necessarily a sign of trouble if results are not immediately available. Also remember that a candidate’s early advantage can shift as more places report their results.

NPR's reporting writes that:

The ability to override a governor’s veto is especially potent in Kansas, Kentucky and North Carolina — states where Republicans have supermajority control of the Legislature and a Democratic governor.
