16 places where you can vote today in the Kansas special election

When it comes to voting for your next congressman, why put off to Tuesday what you can do today?

Thursday noon marks the start of advance voting at 15 neighborhood polling locations around Sedgwick County. Any eligible voter who lives anywhere in the county can vote at any of those sites or at the election commissioner’s office downtown.

The balloting is for a special election to fill the Kansas 4th District congressional seat, vacated in January when Rep. Mike Pompeo resigned to accept the post of CIA director in the Trump administration.

Seeking to replace Pompeo are Republican state Treasurer Ron Estes; Libertarian Chris Rockhold, a flight simulator instructor; and attorney James Thompson, a Democrat.

All of the satellite voting stations will be open from noon to 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday. All except one, the south Wichita Machinists union hall, will also be open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
