Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Kansas in 2022. Information below was calculated on July 7, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Fifteen percent (38) of 125 possible state House primaries in Kansas in 2022 were contested by multiple candidates. One-hundred and twenty-five state House seats were up for election this year.
A primary is contested when more candidates file to run than there are nominations available, meaning at least one candidate must lose.
The 38 contested primaries in 2022 included 12 Democratic primaries and 26 Republican primaries. For Democrats, this was the same as in 2020. For Republicans, that number decreased 10% from 29 in 2020 to 26 in 2022.
Seventeen of the 38 contested primaries featured an incumbent, representing 17% of incumbents who filed for re-election. This was the lowest rate of incumbents in contested primaries in the chamber of the past five election cycles.
Overall, 228 major party candidates—93 Democrats and 135 Republicans—filed to run for the state's 125 House districts. The Kansas Senate holds elections every four years during presidential election cycles.
Twenty-three House districts were open this year, meaning no incumbents filed. This guaranteed that at least 18% of the chamber would be represented by newcomers in 2023.
Open seats
The table below shows the number and percentage of open seats in the Kansas House of Representatives from 2010 to 2022.[2] It will be updated as information becomes available following the state’s candidate filing deadline.
| Open Seats in Kansas House of Representatives elections: 2010 - 2022 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year | Total seats | Open seats | Seats with incumbents running for re-election |
| 2022 | 125 | 23 (18 percent) | 102 (82 percent) |
| 2020 | 125 | 19 (15 percent) | 106 (85 percent) |
| 2018 | 125 | 13 (10 percent) | 112 (90 percent) |
| 2016 | 125 | 26 (21 percent) | 99 (79 percent) |
| 2014 | 125 | 13 (10 percent) | 112 (90 percent) |
| 2012 | 125 | 33 (26 percent) | 92 (74 percent) |
| 2010 | 125 | 10 (8 percent) | 115 (92 percent) |
Incumbents running in new districts
When an incumbent files to run for re-election in the same chamber but a new district, it leaves his or her original seat open. This may happen for a variety of reasons ranging from redistricting to a change in residences. This may result in instances where multiple incumbents face each other in contested primaries or general elections if the incumbent in the new district also seeks re-election.
In 2022, two incumbents filed to run for re-election in a new district different from the ones they represented before the election. Click [show] on the table below to view those incumbents.

Process to become a candidate
For party candidates
See statutes: Kansas Statutes, Chapter 25, Article 2, Section 5
A candidate seeking the nomination of a party qualified to participate in primary elections can access the primary ballot either by filing a nomination petition or paying a filing fee.
By filing a nomination petition
Signature requirements for nomination petitions for party candidates vary according to the office being sought. For offices elected on a statewide basis, signatures must equal at least 1 percent of the state's current voter registration total of the party whose nomination the candidate is seeking. For offices elected by district, signatures must equal at least 2 percent of the district's current voter registration total of the party whose nomination the candidate is seeking.[3][4]
Nomination petitions for federal and state-level offices (including state legislative seats) must be submitted to the Kansas Secretary of State by noon on June 1, prior to the primary election. If June 1 falls on a holiday or weekend, petitions are due by noon on the next following business day.[3]
By paying a filing fee
A candidate may forgo the petition process by submitting a declaration of candidacy and paying a filing fee. The filing fee varies according to the office being sought. For statewide and federal offices, the fee is equal to 1 percent of the office's annual salary. For state senate candidates, the fee is $75. For state representative candidates, the fee is $50.[3][5]
The declaration and accompanying filing fee for federal and state-level offices (including state legislative seats) must be submitted to the Kansas Secretary of State by noon on June 1, prior to the primary election. If June 1 falls on a holiday or weekend, petitions are due by noon on the next following business day.[3]
In addition to the statutory filing fee, a candidate for federal and state offices must pay a $20 administrative fee to the Kansas Secretary of State. A state-level candidate must also pay a registration fee to the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission. For statewide executive offices, the fee is $480. For state legislative candidates, the fee is $35.[6][7]
For independent candidates
See statutes: Kansas Statutes, Chapter 25, Article 3, Section 3
Independent candidates must petition for access to the general election ballot. Signature requirements vary according to the office being sought. For any statewide office, at least 5,000 signatures must be collected. For district-level offices (such as congressional or state legislative seats), signatures must equal at least 4 percent of the current total of qualified voters in the district as determined by the Kansas Secretary of State.[8]
While an independent candidate is not liable for a statutory filing fee, he or she must still pay a $20 administrative fee to the Kansas Secretary of State.

Redistricting following the 2020 census
Kansas enacted legislative district boundaries on May 18, 2022, when the Kansas Supreme Court unanimously upheld the validity of the legislative districts that Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly (D) signed into law on April 15, 2022.[11][12] Both chambers of the legislature passed the redistricting legislation on March 30, 2022, after a joint House-Senate conference committee had developed it.[13] The Kansas House of Representatives approved the legislative boundaries, 83-40, and the State Senate approved them, 29-11.[13]After Kelly signed the maps, Andrew Bahl and Rafael Garcia of the Topeka Capital-Journal wrote, "The state Senate and House maps were mildly contested in the Legislature, particularly in the Senate where the map will create a fourth, Democrat-leaning district in Topeka and Lawrence."[14]

Footnotes
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
