Sedgwick County voters can start casting ballots for the Nov. 3 general election on Monday, Oct. 19, at three locations across the county.

The biggest change for habitual voters: the Sedgwick County Historic Courthouse is no longer a voting site. The Sedgwick County Election Office relocated to 3639 N. Comotara St. in east Wichita, near 37th Street and Rock Road. That building now serves as the primary early voting location.

The two other main sites are the Advanced Learning Library at 711 W. 2nd N. and the Sedgwick County Extension Office at 7001 W. 21st St. N.

All three are open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, Oct. 19–30. The library and extension office add Saturday, Oct. 31, hours from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Election Office is also open Monday, Nov. 2, from 8 a.m. to noon.

Starting Tuesday, Oct. 27, 17 satellite sites across seven cities open for voting. Those locations run 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. through Friday, Oct. 30, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 31. Sites include churches, libraries and community buildings in Wichita, Bel Aire, Derby, Goddard, Haysville, Park City and Valley Center. A full list is on the county's early voting page.

That brings the total to 20 early voting locations countywide.

Election Commissioner Laura Rainwater is scheduled to hold a media briefing at 8:30 a.m. Monday at the Election Office. In a KLC Journal voter's guide published Oct. 6, Rainwater encouraged voters to check their information and bring photo ID. "If a voter arrives at a polling place and there is an issue … they should not leave without asking for assistance," she said.

Voters casting ballots in person generally must present an approved photo ID, though state law provides exemptions. Accepted forms include driver’s licenses, U.S. passports and student IDs from accredited Kansas postsecondary institutions.

The county has surpassed 350,000 registered voters for the first time and is nearing 351,000, Rainwater said in an Oct. 13 KWCH report.

Mail ballots began going out Wednesday, Oct. 14, according to the Sedgwick County Election Office. Voters who still want a mail ballot must submit an application by Tuesday, Oct. 27.

On Election Day, Nov. 3, polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. Voters can look up their assigned polling place and sample ballot at KansasVoterView.
