Roughly 200 voters in rural areas outside Colwich and Garden Plain were able to vote in city elections after a mistake by the Sedgwick County Election office didn’t provide them with a separate ballot. Election Commissioner Angela Caudillo said they learned about the mistake midday Friday when the Garden Plain city clerk emailed them that a voter said they lived outside of town but had city council races on their ballot. Caudillo said they looked into Colwich after that because that city also had a precinct that covers the city and rural area. They found the same problem there — that there should have been two separate ballots for the people who live in the rural area versus the city, but there was only one.
