Candidate filing information and local ballot questions are available through Altamont City Hall (620-784-5363) and the County Election Officer.

Under Kansas law (K.S. 25-2017 and related statutes), voter registration lists are public records available for inspection, though use is restricted to election, political, and governmental purposes. Campaign finance reports for candidates and committees are filed with the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission and searchable at ethics.kansas.gov.
