The Elections Department reported a total of 129,895 voters for the primary: 30,445 were in-person early voters; 1,632 were by-mail voters; and, 97,833 Election Day voters. This represents a 40% turnout overall and 27,000 more voters than the county recorded in the November 2006 general election.
Of note, the majority of Elections Department staff worked from 5:30 a.m. - 11:00 p.m. George Gilbert advised there may be a run off election on June 24th for the Democratic Commissioner of Labor.
