The head of Sedgwick County elections said about 5.5 percent of registered voters in Sedgwick County have voted in the local elections as of 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 7.

If you are one of the 94.5 percent who has not yet voted, election commissioner Tabitha Lehman has a reminder:

“Today is an election day, so we encourage you to get out and vote.”

Lehman said they have not encountered any problems at the polls, and everything is running smoothly.
