On March 19, Kansas conducted it's first state-run Presidential Preference Primary since the early 1990s.

The election results will remain unofficial until the State Board of Canvassers meet to certify the results. This meeting is open to the public and will take place in the Memorial Hall auditorium.

Following certification, official election results may be viewed on VoteKansas.gov.

Eagle Radio's Gary Shorman invited me onto his podcast "Forward Ever: Leading in Challenging Times" where I spoke about the Presidential Preference Primary, the party rules of the primary, and the importance of voting. Tune in to hear about other recent activities from the Secretary of State's office.
