The American state of Kansas does not make it very easy for its citizens to vote. A person must show proof of American citizenship when registering to vote in an election. Once at the polling place, they must show photo identification. The United States Commission on Civil Rights says Kansas has among the strictest voter identification laws of any state in the country.

There is nothing, then, to stop high school students -- and even a dog -- from seeking to become the next governor of the state.
