Election Day voting changing dynamic of results

   August 28, 2018

In 2016 General Election, most of the local elections had been decided by the time the election day came -61.6 percent cast.  People discounted the effectiveness any flyers or ads placed in the last week before the election.

This primary is different. As of 5 p.m., the Election Day votes accounted for 45.3 percent of the votes cast.   Those last-minute ads and flyers will have an impact.

General 2016 Primary 2018
Mail-in   39,313 25.4%   18,678 33.2%
Early Voting  56,179 36.2%   12,100 21.5%
Election Day   59,575 38.4%   25,480 45.3%
  155,067   56,258
