How it works

• April 6, 2027 is Missouri's municipal election day; Kansas City's charter holds its primary then and its general election later in the spring.
• The Kansas City Election Board says its 2027 calendar will be published as state law requires; we'll add the general election date then.
• Kansas City spans Jackson, Clay and Platte counties; each has its own election board for voters living there.
