Polling Place Bill Signed

Voters in Kansas will be able to cast ballots at any polling place within their home county.

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly visited Wichita yesterday for a bill signing ceremony for the measure, which changes the state’s election laws.

The measure was supported by Sedgwick County Election Commissioner Tabitha Lehman, whose department created an app where voters can view wait times at polling places on election day.

The new law takes effect in 2020.
