Consolidated local elections typically produce a lower voter turnout than even-year elections like presidential cycles. Normally, only about 20% of registered voters cast ballots.
For Tuesday’s election, the Bloomington Election Commission and the McLean County Clerk’s office project turnout could run a little higher, possibly between 25-30%.
Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday.

What are the reasons? BEC Executive Director Tim Mitchell said he thinks there is some carryover from the divisive November election.
“In Georgia this past week, they passed a new law to impact voters down there, which has made national headlines,” said Mitchell. “The whole concept of voting is still in the forefront of people’s minds.”
