Early voting totals on track with 2012, 2014- Seth A. Richardson, -June 3, 2016.

Early voting in Washoe County is about on pace with the last two election cycles according to Washoe County Registrar Luanne Cutler.

Early voting started May 28 and runs through June 10 for the June 14 primary. Cutler said the number of voters through the first week generally reflects past years.

As of Friday evening, 10,048 people voted early – including 3,984 Democrats, 5,062 Republicans and 1,002 nonpartisan and third party voters. This accounts for about 4.2 percent of total voters in Washoe County. Around 4.5 percent of registered Democrats and 5.4 percent of registered Republicans voted early.

In 2012, a total of 21,317 people voted early, including 8,039 Democrats, 11,409 Republicans and 1,869 nonpartisan and third party. Total primary voter turnout was 43,529, or 19.98 percent. About 9.7 percent of registered Democrats and 13.2 percent of registered Republicans voted early.

In 2014, a total of 22,839 people voted early, including 8,065 Democrats, 12,078 Republicans and 2,691 nonpartisan and third party voters. Total primary voter turnout was 50,965, or 23.43 percent. About 10.1 percent of registered Democrats and 14.3 percent of registered Republicans voted eraly.

Total primary voter turnout was 43,529 in 2012, or 19.98 percent, and 50,965 in 2014, or 23.43 percent,.

Cutler said gubernatorial years can see slightly higher early voter turnout because the top of the ballot includes state executive offices. She added the second week of early voting usually features larger turnout.

“To be honest, they seem to be running right along like they always do,” she said. “Again, I’m hoping in the end we’ll end up with a large number more than we had in 2012 and 2014 simply because we have about 20,000-plus more voters registered.”
