A proposition to amend section 1 of article 5 of the constitution of the state of Kansas to require individuals to be citizens of the United States, at least 18 years of age and a resident of the voting area in which such person seeks to vote in order to vote in this state. The ballot explanatory statement says: “This amendment would clarify that only a person who is a citizen of the United States.” It also says: “A vote for this proposition would clarify that only a person who is a citizen of the United State is eligible to vote in this state.” “A vote against this proposition would make no change to the constitution of the state of Kansas, and the language concerning voter qualifications would remain the same.”
