Election Day is here. As the last ballots are turned in and counted Tuesday, Nov. 2, a total of 5,521 ballots are already in. Summit County Clerk and Recorder Kathleen Neel reported Tuesday morning that.
By 11:10 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 2, 10,039 Summit County ballots had been counted, making the turnout for the 2021 election about 46% of active voters. In total, there are 22,044 active voters in Summit County..
Historically, voter turnout for odd-year elections is unsurprisingly low in comparison to national elections. However, with more people voting by mail, voter numbers are up, and with a Summit School District Board of Education election.
