Update: Kansas City voters will no longer be able to cast their ballots or access any other election related services at Union Station. The election office will remain at its temporary Blue Parkway location until after the 2024 presidential election. Read the update here.

The Kansas City Election Board office, which provides services to voters in Kansas City, has relocated as it searches for a new permanent office location.

As of Sept. 26, the office is operating out of the Shops on Blue Parkway, located at 4407 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard just south of Brush Creek.

Previously, the office was located inside Union Station in central Kansas City.

“Our lease (at Union Station) ended and we moved to a temporary space,” an election office employee said Monday. “We hope to have a new permanent place before too long.”

The current office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. On Election Day, Nov. 7, the office is open from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m.

You can contact the Kansas City Election Board by emailing kceb@kceb.org or calling 816-842-4820.
