WITH ONLY ONE CONTESTED RACE ON TUESDAY’S CITY COUNCIL PRIMARY BALLOT IN SIOUX CITY, A LIGHT VOTER TURNOUT WAS EXPECTED.
ONLY SEVEN-POINT-EIGHT PERCENT OF THE CITY’S 26,234 VOTERS CAST A BALLOT, A TURNOUT LOWER THAN WHAT WOODBURY COUNTY AUDITOR PAT GILL EXPECTED:
LOWVOTE1 OC……..LOT OF INTEREST. :14
GILL SAYS THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH ANY OF THE PRECINCT VOTING MACHINES AND THE ELECTION WENT SMOOTHLY:
LOWVOTE2 OC…….GOT THE JOB DONE. :08
THERE WERE AROUND 600 ABSENTEE BALLOTS CAST IN THE ELECTION.
GILL EXPECTS A BIGGER TURNOUT FOR THE NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION WHICH WILL ALSO HAVE SCHOOL BOARD RACES ON THE BALLOT.
