This partisan primary election determines which candidates are nominated to compete in the November 2026 general election for the two major political parties recognized in the State of Kansas: the Democratic party and the Republican party.
Minor political parties that have obtained official recognition (e.g. Libertarian party, No Labels Kansas, United Kansas Party) nominate candidates at state conventions.
A non-partisan constitutional amendment question is slated for consideration for this election for all voters.
The specific contest races that will appear on a voter's ballot depends on a voter's party affiliation, and where a voter is registered to vote.

- A vote for this proposition would give Kansas citizens the right to elect Kansas supreme court justices as provided by law. Justices will hold office for terms of six years. The Kansas supreme court nominating commission, whose membership consists of a majority of lawyers, would be abolished.
- A vote against this proposition would continue the current system in which the Kansas supreme court nominating commission, whose membership consists of a majority of lawyers, provides the governor a list of three individuals to choose from for vacancies on the Kansas supreme court. Justices hold office for a term of six years and retain their offices if they win a retention election in which they do not face an opponent.
