Registered voter turnout for Montana primary now at 17.2%

If turnout for Montana’s 2018 midterm primary election is similar to that for the 2006, 2010, and 2014, midterms, approximately half of the votes have been cast. The table below, which includes the 2017 special Congressional election as well as the last three midterms, shows that that the percentage of ballots cast by mail (absentee) has increased, but that turnout as a percentage of registered voters has held steady at approximately 33 percent.

Update, 4 June. The old table for 26 May contained a couple of errors. I’ve therefore substituted today’s table, in which the errors are corrected.
