The Haysville Times
By Angie Gumm
Haysville citizens will soon have the opportunity to vote for their next councilmember and on the library bond issue, but residents of two wards will be voting at new places this year.
“We moved Ward I, because we were getting complaints about the parking at the library, and also because there was a bond issue about the library and we thought that would be a conflict of interest,” said Terri Howard of the Election Commissioner’s office. The voting booth for Ward I has been moved to the Haysville Christian Church.
“In Ward III, people on the west side [of the railroad construction] would have to go a long way out of their way to vote,” said Howard. So Ward III residents on the west side of the tracks will also vote at the Haysville Christian Church.
Ward III residents on the east side of the construction will vote at the Haysville Activity Center, as will residents of Ward II.
Voters in Ward IV will case their ballots at the First Christian Church.
The Ward I primary will be held on March 2 from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Any registered voter in Sedgwick County can vote before the election. For more information call the Sedgwick County Election Office at 660-7114 or visit www.sedgwickcounty.org . Early voting will continue until noon, on
March 1.
