Big primary turnout has county clerks planning ahead

If Tuesday's primary election was any indication, you should make sure you have everything you need to vote in November ahead of time. According to the Associated Press, Tuesday’s statewide turnout for the partisan primary election was 26 percent, the highest in 60 years. Recent redistricting and two constitutional amendments were pointed to as reasons more people went to the polls than usual. More than 10,000 ballots in Door County and 5,600 in Kewaunee County were cast, far more than is usually seen in a fall partisan primary. Kewaunee County Clerk Jamie Annoye says they are preparing to order ballots for the fall general election, and she believes they are in store for another really big turnout.

 

In addition to the Presidential race and the federal, state, and county offices up for election, the November ballot will feature another statewide referendum question. The Citizenship Voting Requirement Amendment would explicitly include in the state constitution that only U.S. citizens 18 years old or older can vote in federal, state, local, or school elections. The fall general election is November 5th.
