Voter turnout only 10.1 percent
Election judges wait to sign-in voters at the Christian Chapel Academy during Tuesday's municipal election. Turnout for the election, which includes decisions on two City Council and School Board seats, has been substantially lower than November's general election.
Less than 10.1 percent of registered Boone County voters cast ballots in Tuesday's municipal election.
The number is far lower than the 28.02 percent who cast votes in last April's municipal election. The November general election had a 83.65 percent voter turnout in Boone County.
It's the lowest voter turnout in an April municipal election in recent memory. The second lowest was a 11.52 percent voter turnout in April 2005.
More than 21,000 new voters registered before the general election in November last year.
Polling stations were empty midday at the Christian Chapel Academy, located at 3300 S. Providence Road.
