County Clerk Mary Baack-Garvey said she expects turnout in Tuesday’s election to be down 20-percent from 2010.
“You have to go with what happened four years prior to get the same races on the ballot so that’s why you look at it that way,” said Baack-Garvey. “four years back the same offices were on the ballot.”
She is predicting voter turnout at around 40-percent. Absentee voting is also down.
Baack Garvey said as of 3 p.m. Monday there were only 1197 ballots submitted. That’s down by 403 absentee ballots from 2010.
“None of the State Reps are opposed,” said Baack-Garvey. “You just get down to the local level and there’s just not as many contested races as there were 4-years-ago.”
Polls will open at 6 a.m. Tuesday for voters to start casting ballots. However, Baack-Garvey said many locations have changed.
“In April of 2013 we decided to get out of all the schools as polling locations,” said Baack-Garvey. “If people are unsure where they vote, if they haven’t voted in awhile they can call the office or look on my website as well.”
Polls will close at 7 p.m. Stay-tuned with StJosephPost.com, and 680 KFEQ for the results as they came in with constant update also available on KJO 105.5 and QCountry 92.7
