The Sedgwick County Election Office said voters who were in line before polls closed at 7 p.m. Tuesday were told to go to a different location.   Election Commissioner Angela Caudillo said in a press release that it was the wrong decision.

Caudillo said the decision was not made in conjunction with the Election Office and election workers do not have the authority to make this decision.  She said it was an inappropriate decision and it was immediately addressed with the workers at the Maize Recreation Center.

Those voters who went to a different polling location were allowed to vote by provisional ballots, and Caudillo said all polling sites have been directed to keep track of this information so those votes are addressed properly.
