The votes are in! After a week of voting and nearly 270,000 votes cast, Governor Kelly has announced the new license plate design for Kansas. Kansans chose the design featuring the Kansas Statehouse Dome within a cutout of the state and a yellow, white, and blue gradient background. It received over 140,000, or 53%, of the total votes. Kelly says it was great to see Kansans’ passion for representing the state. She says the state can now move forward on a design that received a huge majority support and get clearer, safer license plates on the streets as soon as possible.

Now, many people are still complaining about the new plates being too boring and not really representing the state. Kelly says Kansans will begin to notice that plates across the country are moving to simpler designs because of law enforcement and plate reader requirements.
