Last Tuesday’s Voter Turnout County-By-County Percentages

Just under 50% of Alabama’s registered voters went to the polls last Tuesday – according to the latest information from the Secretary of State’s Office.

The mid-term elections saw 49.8% of Alabama’s 3,457,572 registered voters cast a ballot – that figure is higher than projections from the Secretary of State’s office which stated that it expected a turnout of between 35 and 40%.

Almost two-thirds of the Alabama voters who cast ballots in the election on Tuesday did so with a straight-ticket vote.  The Secretary of State’s office said 1.1 million of the 1.7 million ballots cast were straight-ticket ballots – where a voter can choose all the candidates in one party with a single mark.  That’s a total of 65%.

Cherokee County ranked #47 overall in the number of registered voters going to the polls – with a 48.12% turnout.
