All-Time Worst Voter Turnout?
News Flash (from Dan of the County): Was just able to pull the number of registered voters in the PF Highway District=21,173. So if they had 324 people vote, that works out to about a 1.5% turnout (I know, I know, that sounds so low I even had my finance director check my math). But there you have it, only about one and a half persons per hundred cast a vote in that particular election.
Voter Jane Q. Citizen: My husband, John Q. and I cast ballots so if you hear me complain about anything going on with the highway district I'm allowed! I know it sounds simple but these local elections, highway district, city council, school board, county commission are the ones where your vote affects you on the most personal level. It defies logic to me how 98.5 out of every 100 of my neighbors had something better to do for the 12 hours the polls were open.
DFO: F'shame.
