This year’s presidential election cycle drew the highest voter turnout despite a pandemic that had the county’s Registrar of Voters adapting to social distancing and a dramatic increase in mail-in ballots.
To make voting possible for all registered voters who wanted to cast a ballot this fall, state officials decided every registered voter would receive an absentee ballot that could be mailed back for free or returned at numerous locations before Election Day. Drop-off spots included local libraries in the weeks leading up to Nov. 3. There was also four days of on-site voting at many community venues.
