President before election William McKinley Republican Elected President William McKinley Republican

The 1900 United States presidential election in Kansas took place on November 6, 1900. All contemporary 45 states were part of the 1900 United States presidential election. Kansas voters chose ten electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.

Kansas was won by the Republican nominees, incumbent President William McKinley of Ohio and his running mate Theodore Roosevelt of New York. They defeated the Democratic nominees, former U.S. Representative and 1896 Democratic presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan and his running mate, former Vice President Adlai Stevenson I. McKinley won the state by a margin of 6.60% in this rematch of the 1896 presidential election. The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the Spanish–American War helped McKinley to score a decisive victory.

McKinley had previously lost the state to Bryan four years earlier while Bryan would later lose the state again to another Republican (William Howard Taft) in 1908.
