How’s That Early Voting Going?
Marion County early voting is down nearly 30% in the 2012 primary as compared to 2008.
According to the Marion County Clerk’s Office,a s of 3:30 Monday afternoon there have been 6,556 requests for absentee ballots this primary as opposed to 9,558 in 2012. However in areas where there are hotly contested races, i.e. the 5th Congressional District or State House District 92, the vote totals appear higher than other places in the County.
Below is a breakdown of the ballot requests…
- Center – 1077
- Decatur – 136
- Franklin – 411
- Lawrence – 966
- Perry – 732
- Pike – 751
- Warren – 662
- Washington – 1518
- Wayne – 842
I’ll will have new early statewide absentee ballot requests later today and will post that information when it becomes available.
