County eliminates 146 voting locations

ELECTIONS

If you vote on Election Day, you may find longer lines.

Sedgwick County has reduced its number of polling places from 208 to 62. It also has one-third fewer voting machines this year.

Democratic and Republican party leaders fear that fewer places to vote and fewer machines to vote on will mean a lower turnout.
