Sedgwick County’s election commissioner testified in Topeka on Monday about a bill that limits special elections. Laura Rainwater supports the bill that restricts special elections to one day in March, as well as during the primary and general elections. Sedgwick County has four special elections on three days in the first half of this year. Rainwater says that this many elections can confuse voters. “You cannot imagine how many emails and phone calls we got from people that show up to wrong polling places because we couldn’t get the polling place for that special election or even early voting places where they’re normally go and vote early and that polling place was not available for this special election and then they get mad at us for not opening it as a special poll, as an early voting site.” said Rainwater.
