Sedgwick County Election Commissioner Laura Rainwater expects a 65-70% voter turnout for the election
“This is the granddaddy of the election, as you know, and it’s going to be busy if you decide to wait and vote on Election Day,” Rainwater said. “Even though we’ve added 25 new polling sites, I still anticipate there being lines.
