Book excerpt: The Kansas Legislature has provided that there will be separate ballots for each political party participating in a primary election. When no person has sought the nomination of a political party to a particular office at a primary election, the law provides that the ballot shall list the office to be elected, followed by a blank space, so that party members may write in the name of any person they choose to nominate as their party candidate. K.S.A. 25-213, which prescribes the form of a primary election ballot, does not prohibit a person from appearing on the ballot as a candidate for nomination of one political party and at the same time receiving write-in votes sufficient to nominate the person for the same office on the ballot of another political party. K.S.A. 25-213 also does not prohibit a person from appearing on the primary election ballot of one political party as a candidate for nomination to one office and also receiving sufficient write-in votes to win the nomination to another office on the ballot of a different political party. K.S.A. 25-306, which prevents a person from accepting more than one nomination to the same office, applies only to nominations accomplished by convention, caucus, or independent petition and cannot be construed to apply to nominations accomplished by primary election. K.S.A. 25-613, which prescribes the form of general election ballots, does not prevent a single name from appearing twice on the same ballot, for the same or different offices. K.S.A. 25-123 addresses the problem of the simultaneous election of a single person to incompatible offices and clearly indicates a legislative intent to permit simultaneous candidacies for more than one office.
