Sedgwick County is planning to add up to 30 new polling sites for next year’s election. According to Election Commissioner Laura Rainwater, many polling sites currently have too many registered voters. Rainwater said some sites have over 7,000 and the target is to have between 3,000 to 3,500 at each site. She said they have 83 polling sites and adding the 30 will take them to 113. “We are trying to reduce the size and the number of registered voters assigned to these polling day sites so that we don’t have so many people in long lines especially during a presidential year,” said Rainwater.
