Candidate Meet and Greet

Be informed when you cast your vote!

Meet the candidates in person before you vote. Volunteers will be available to help you find your candidates and to answer questions about the Tuesday, Nov 3, 2026 general election.

Chat with candidates on your ballot! Not your typical candidate forum, this event is designed to give Topeka voters the opportunity to ask questions and talk directly to the candidates about the issues most important to them. Volunteers will assist with suggested questions for various elected roles, election information and connections to local resources. 

Though there is no guarantee every candidate will attend, all candidates appearing on Shawnee County ballots were invited. 

This event is free, nonpartisan and open to the public.

The deadline to register to vote in the Kansas general election, including updates to voter registrations to reflect recent residency or name changes, is Tuesday, October 13, 2026.
