States With Mail-In Ballot Options in Upcoming Elections


Kansas Democrats are Not Planning at the moment to make any Changes to their Saturday, May 2nd Party-Run Primary.

The Party, like those in Hawaii and Wyoming has an Insurance Policy, Mail-In Voting.

As in Hawaii and Wyoming, Kansas Democrats, had an Existing Mail-In Option in place as part of their Original Delegate Selection Plan.

It was Part of the the Party's Response to New Rule 2 Encouragements to Increase Participation from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for the 2020 Cycle.

That Uniquely Positions these States to lean on those Mail-In Options in lieu of In-Person Voting amid the Coronavirus Outbreak without having to Change much about what they are doing.

Alaska also has a Party-Run Primary with a Mail-In Option, but unlike Hawaii, Kansas, and Wyoming, Alaska is Not Mailing Out Ballots to All Registered Democrats in the State.

Again, that Uniquely Positions the Trio of States to Quickly and Easily respond to the Crisis.

They were All already Planning on Mailing Ballots to All Democrats in the State.

Alaskans are Not without that Option. But Democrats in the Last Frontier have to Request a Ballot and have it Postmarked by this coming Tuesday, March 24th.

But for now in Kansas, Democrats are holding pat with their Originally laid out Delegate Selection Plan, including In-Person Voting, but are Encouraging the use of the Mail-In Option.
