Polling place changes impacting about 26K voters ahead of special election on Wichita sales tax

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - Ahead of the March 3 special election regarding a proposed 1% sales tax in Wichita, the Sedgwick County Election Office said that 11 of the county’s regular polling locations won’t be available. It’s a move that’ll impact about 26,000 voters.

The Sedgwick County Election Office explained that the need for alternative polling locations increases the cost to hold the special election by $20,000, bringing the total cost to $170,000.

That cost covers sending postcards with updated locations to the impacted voters.
