The Registrars of Voters
announce a larger-than-anticipated turnout for today’s election. Participation plummeted in 2009 at 8,767
voters and bounced back only slightly in 2011 with 9,347 voters voting for
Mayor and City Council.
With 60% of the voting day
behind us, more than 19% of registered voters have already gone to the
polls. Voter turnout could reach 40% for
today’s municipal election. To
accommodate the anticipated above-average turnout, the Registrars of Voters
will be delivering additional ballots to several polling places.
The downward trend in voter
turnout over the past two Mayoral elections is being reversed today. With today’s current trend, voter
participation could reach 12,000.
