John,
Our proposal for the 2020 Kansas Democratic Party-Run Presidential Primary was just given final approval from the Democratic National Committee! This clears the way for the historic reforms in transparency and accessibility the KDP has made to the 2020 Kansas Democratic Presidential Primary.
Instead of traveling to caucus somewhere for a few hours, registered Democrats in Kansas will be able to vote by either:

We'll also be using ranked-choice voting. Voters will rank their top five candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination. If a candidate receives fewer than a minimum 15% of all first-choice votes, that candidate's votes will be reallocated to the next preferred viable candidate until all candidates remaining receive at least 15%.
We'll have even more details when we send a mailer to registered Democrats in Kansas on March 9, which is also the first day advance ballots can be requested. That mailer will also provide the locations for all the in-person voting centers.
Because the KDP is holding the Kansas primary in May and our proposal is in full compliance, Kansas has been awarded a 20% bonus in delegates for a total of 47 delegates instead of the original 39. The delegates will be assigned to candidates based on the primary results, which will be released as soon as they are available following in-person voting on May 2.
This is going to be an exciting time for Democrats across the country, including here in Kansas. To learn more and read the entire Delegate Selection Plan, go to KansasDems.org/2020Primary.
