10 pages free every month. No credit card.
What goes in the fax
Fax the pages together, to the line your election office uses for ballots.
Every page of it, including any page you left blank.
Under K.S.A. 25-1216(b) a Kansas voter who faxes or emails a voted ballot must include the statement "I understand that by faxing, emailing or electronically transmitting my voted ballot I am voluntarily waiving my right to a secret ballot", followed by the voter's signature and the date; the Secretary of State publishes no separate form for it.
Read the state’s instructionsYour county's ballot fax
2 of 105 counties publish a ballot fax line. For the rest, call the office before you send and ask for the line.
From the Kansas directory, checked September 30, 2026.
Call before you send. Fax lines change and some stop answering. A short call confirms the ballot fax number and whether the office has your ballot request. An office’s general fax is not always its ballot line.
Deadlines
Under K.S.A. 25-1221 a Kansas federal services absentee ballot is canvassed only if it reaches the county election officer not later than the hour the polls close on election day.
www.ksrevisor.gov/statutes/chapters/ch25/025_012_0021.htmlA Kansas military or overseas voter chooses to receive the ballot by mail, fax, or email when completing the application, and ballots go to every voter with an active Federal Post Card Application starting 45 days before an election.

Every account gets 10 free pages a month, and a page to a US fax number counts as one. A ballot packet of up to 10 pages sends free, with no credit card.
Free pages reset on the 1st. If a second ballot in the same month takes you past 10 pages, a Lite pack covers it, with no subscription.
To get your blank ballot by fax, you need a fax number of your own. A One-Time Fax Number is $14.99 once and receives for 90 days, with 50 pages. Starter is $4.99 a month. A ballot sent to you by email needs neither.
Questions
Can I fax my Kansas ballot from any country?
Yes. Your county has a US fax number, and a fax to it goes out the same way wherever you are. Whether it arrives depends on the office's line, which is why each row has a number to call first.
What if my county's fax line doesn't answer?
Call the number in your county's row before you try again. A line that rings and never connects will not start working on a retry, and the office can tell you whether the number changed.
My county's row has no ballot fax. Where do I send it?
Call the number in your county's row and ask for the fax line the office takes ballots on. The state's directory does not publish one for that office, and an office's general fax is not always its ballot line.
Do I need my own fax number to send my ballot?
No. Sending needs only the fax number your election office uses. A number of your own matters only if you want the blank ballot faxed to you.
Is this an official Kansas election site?
No. FaxTerra is a fax service. Kansas's rules come from its election authority and your county, linked under official sources.
