New voting system for Kansas

For the first time since 1992, Kansas will have a presidential preference primary. This is a primary election in which a voter indicates a preference for a particular candidate to be a party's nominee for the presidency. It is referred to as a “preference” primary because the vote totals are given to a political party to allocate delegates to candidates at the national convention.
