Peru’s voter turnout strong
Gazette contributor Don McBrayer reports that 2,006 Town of Peru voters came to the polls today or 47% of registered voters. It was a strong voter turnout for a non-presidental election year. Last year when all the local elected offices were on the ballot 2,293 voters cast ballots or about 55% of of registered voters. A normal turnout for an off-year election is in the 40% to 45% range.
Local results are no longer available at the polls as in the past. Instead a computer card is transported to the Clinton County Board of Elections where the votes are tabulated. The Press Republican has promised to put the results online as soon as they are available.
