If the Democratic and Republican caucuses are any indication, polls this November are sure to be swamped with eager voters. Sedgwick County's Election Commissioner anticipates at least the same turnout we had for the last presidential election, which was the 2nd highest ever at 78 percent.

However, that's why many voters groups are getting nervous. "We're trying to make sure people have a place to vote," says concerned voter Walt Chappell.

Chappell says since the number of polling places was cut, tens of thousands fewer votes were cast. He says the lines were simply too long for people to wait to cast their ballots and there weren't enough parking spots.

Dozens of organizations in Sedgwick County have now formed a coalition that is pushing for 20 additional polling sites for the upcoming election.

"This is gong to be a massive opportunity for people to vote and if we don't have a place to come and do that, then we've lost our democracy," says Chappell.

It's a voting situation that also has County Commissioners concerned.

"I've expressed my attitude that we are not going to get caught in a situation like we did for the caucuses," says County Commissioner Gwen Welshimer. "We're going to be prepared for this election and we need to start now."

To make sure this general election is a smooth one, commissioners plan to hold a meeting to talk about all the concerns. Still, adding more polling places is likely not an option.

"People know where their polling place is now," explains Commissioner Tom Winters. "If we add more polling places now, then there's the confusion again of where they're supposed to vote."

Instead, commissioners will focus on simpler solutions like using paper ballots instead of voting machines so more people can vote at once. The county could also use the 100-thousand dollars it budgeted last year to buy more voting machines.

Commissioners will talk about all these and even more possible voting solutions when they meet at the end of March.
