Kansas's electoral votes in U.S. presidential elections 1864-2020
Kansas has taken part in 40 U.S. presidential elections, and has correctly voted for the overall winner in 27 of these elections, giving a success rate of 68 percent. The Sunflower State has voted for the Republican nominee in 33 of these 40 elections, and in the past 21 elections, it has voted for the Republican nominee twenty times. Kansas voted for the Democratic nominee in just six elections, including twice during each world war. In the 1892 election, Kansas voted for the third party candidate James B. Weaver of the People's Party.
Between 1892 and 1928, Kansas' allocation of electoral votes was at its highest, standing at ten votes per election, however this has gradually dropped in the past century and has been just six since the 1992 election (it is expected to remain at six in the 2024 election). No U.S. president has ever been born in or resided in Kansas, although it was the home state of two Republican nominees; Alf Landon in the 1936 election, and Bob Dole in the 1996 election.
