Turnout low, but election leaders find positives after consolidated elections This ad will end in 9 seconds
(WMBD Radio) - While central Illinois election officials wish turnout numbers were higher for the consolidated elections, they are taking away some positives.
After Tuesday’s vote, Peoria County reported a turnout of 20%, while Tazewell County reported a 22% turnout.
Peoria County Election Commission Executive Director Elizabeth Gannon says 20% was the goal her office had set for the election. She says that was achieved, even with a short turn around time from the late-February primary elections.
“This really was just a much condensed timeframe for us. So I think that we did a great job of managing that internally, especially with our vote-by-mail ballots, keeping up with them as they came in,” Gannon said.
