2 Judicial officers who are appointed and retained in office, rather then elected, pay only the GEC/SOS fee.
3 Independent candidates may file for office only by petition. Upon filing a valid petition and paying the GEC/SOS fee, the candidate's name will be placed directly on the general ballot. An independent candidate must be registered as an unaffiliated voter. Percent requirements for petitions are based upon the total number of registered voters in the district as provided by K.S.A. 25-205 and 25-303.
Salary information sources: US Senate Financial Clerk, US House of Representatives Chief Administrative Officer; Kansas Division of Personnel Services; Kansas Office of Judicial Administration.
