Tuesday, August 20, 2024

TOPEKA – Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab today announced that the office had received the official certification of nomination of Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz as the Democratic nominees for the office of president and vice president of the United States.

Harris and Walz’s names will be placed on the November 5 general election ballot. The certification of nomination, attested by the convention chair, reflects the delegate vote at the national convention held in Chicago.

Each political party has until September 1 to submit the names of its presidential electors to the Kansas Secretary of State’s office. Under Kansas law there is no deadline for the national parties to certify their nominees for the office of president. However, ballots must be sent 45 days in advance of the general election to Kansans serving in the military and living overseas.
