The law made “falsely representing” an elections official punishable by up to 13 months in prison.

The Republican -controlled Legislature enacted the law in 2021 by overriding a veto by Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly .

The groups challenging the law argue it's so vague that volunteers who register voters could face criminal charges.

The law was among a series of measures tightening election laws approved by GOP legislators.
