The Kansas City Election Board (KCEB) on Monday shared details of a Special Election that will have only one question on the ballot—whether to recall current Jackson County Executive Frank White. The special election is set for Tuesday, September 30, 2025. To view the Sample Ballot, visit kceb.org
Following are the details outlined in a press release from KCEB:
Due to a shortened election cycle, fewer polling locations will be open on Election Day. To expand access, additional No-Excuse Absentee Voting locations will be available.
Approximately one week before the election, voters will be mailed a notification card detailing their polling information. Voters can also confirm their details at kceb.org. On Election Day, voters can vote at any poll, including KCEB, by using a Ballot Marking Device.
Those who wish to vote on a pre-printed paper ballot must do so at their assigned polling location on Election Day. Voters who wish to vote absentee before Election Day, can do so with an excuse starting August 19 at KCEB, 4407 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Voters without an excuse will be able to vote at KCEB and additional satellite locations starting September 16. Additional details on No-Excuse Absentee Voting, such as satellite locations, days and hours will be announced in the coming days.
