Requiring absentee ballots to include a valid, government-issued ID number, such as a state ID number or the last four digits of a Social Security number is a reform strongly supported by a majority of likely Kansas Republicans (76%) and Independents (62%). Similarly, Republicans (71%) and Independents (51%) strongly or somewhat support creating a special unit within the Kansas Attorney General’s Office that investigates election law violations.
While Democrat support for election reforms in the state is more selective, half of likely Democrat voters are strongly or somewhat supportive of requiring all completed absentee ballots to be received by the elections office by the time polls close on Election Day (50%).
Similarly, Independents also found this reform most compelling of all the election reforms polled.
