Several voting sites throughout Sedgwick County were busy Tuesday.
A steady line of voters snaked throughout the hallway at the Bel Aire polling place just north of Wichita.
Supervising Judge Vickie Woodworth said the turnout has been tremendous with more than 500 people voting before noon.
"To me, it seems like there's a larger turnout this time than 4 years ago," said Woodworth. "I think that it's just a very important election and people want their views known."

A yes vote would allow lawmakers to reduce property tax rates for boats to bring them more in line with tax rates for cars and other recreational vehicles. A no vote would leave tax rates as they are.
