Turnout for Tuesday’s primary election in Mahoning and Trumbull counties will be even lower than initially projected with a lack of enthusiasm from voters cited as the prime reason by election officials.
Thomas McCabe, deputy director of the Mahoning County Board of Elections, had predicted turnout at 20 percent in his county before early voting began. Because so few people have taken advantage of early voting, which is a good indicator of overall turnout, McCabe now expects turnout at 18 percent.
Stephanie Penrose, director of the Trumbull County Board of Elections, had projected turnout for the primary before early voting at 15 to 16 percent. She now says it will be 13 to 15 percent.

Youngstown voters are fortunate to have three thoughtful, committed and articulate candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for mayor in the May 4 primary election. Unlike some years when residents have been forced to choose among the best of lackluster unqualified hopefuls, this year’s crop of candidates for the party’s nod all have attributes that would serve the city well. Each of the candidates incumbent Mayor Jamael Tito Brown, 1st Ward Councilman Julius Oliver and Valley businessman Ryan Kelly has a firm grasp of the problems confronting the city and has outlined realistic and potentially promising solutions to place the city on a path toward stronger fiscal health, more robust business growth and safer streets. This race should not be the last foray into politics for any of them.
