With a historic 2020 Presidential Election behind them, election officials and others weren t sure what to expect as far as voter turnout for Tuesday s primary.
Municipal primaries generally see the lowest turnout of most elections, but this year s vote might have shattered records with its current 25.5% estimated participation.
About 121,340 of the county s 476,127 registered voters showed up either at polling places or, for the first time in a municipal primary, via the state s no-excuse mail-in ballot option.
It s difficult to guess right now what drove turnout, though election officials and candidates seemed to expect mail-in ballots to be a major contributor.
The county s live election results page on Wednesday afternoon listed in-person, mail-in and absentee ballots as partially reported, though 100% of precincts had reported in since polls closed at 8 Tuesday night.
