Ritchie: Primary Voter Turnout Highest N a Decade
ST. PAUL, Minn.-Aug. u, zma-Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie said today that more than 580,000 eligible Minnesota voters participated in
Minnesota's first Aug. primary. The number is based on preliminary results reported by local election officials. Ritchie indicated that the percentage of voters Basting
ballots was more than i5 percent of Minnesota's eligible voter population of 3.8 million. This figure includes a record number of absentee ballots, over;)t,ooo. These
totals will continue to change as reporting is completed from SL Iquis and Carlton counties and updated results are posted for Wright County where electronic
transmission difficulties were experienced.
"Despite heat, humidity and severe weather, Minnesotans made sure their voices were heard,' Ritchie said. "While turnout in primaries is always lower than general
elections, turnout exceeded all expectations and made [his earlier pnmaq~a big success. Excellent coverage by the media plus spirited campaigning in the DFI.
Governor's race were two of the major factors in this unexpectedly high turnout."
Election results remain unofficial until the State Canvassing Board certifies results on Tuesday, Aug. t7.
