Sedgwick County commissioners are working Monday morning to figure out if there will be enough polling places for November's election if turnout is heavy.

Concern over the number of polling places follows the cut in polling places two years ago from more than 200 sites to only 63.

With the heavy interest int he upcoming presidential election and the outpouring of voters for the Kansas caucuses, the league of Women voters and several other local groups met with county commissioners Monday morning about possible polling place problems in November.

The groups asked commissioners to spend nearly $200,000 to add 20 more polling sites across the county to cut down on long wait times to cast a ballot.

The Sedgwick county election commissioner said that with advance voting and adding paper ballots to each election, even with the increase in numbers of voters, the voting situation should be smooth. But, the commission is considering spending the extra money.

Commissioners said they will consider everything they heard Monday morning and will return to make a decision on how to move forward.
