The Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program
The Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program, also known by the nickname The
Kansas Project, was initiated in
Kansas in 2005 under
Kansas Secretary
of State Ron Thornburgh when Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri agreed to share voter registration data. The first interstate crosscheck was in 2006. When current Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach assumed office in 2011, the number of states participating had grown to 14.
