KP Votes Resource Center
Welcome to the KP Votes Resource Center for the 2026 election season. Elections are quickly approaching and the outcomes will have important implications for Kaiser Permanente, our members and communities. Every state has its own deadlines, ballot initiatives, and key dates, but that information is not always easy to find.
Kaiser Permanente is committed to promoting civic engagement and highlighting the strong correlation between healthy communities and democracy.
