Allen County Officials are Hoping for 45% Voter Turnout

Allen County election officials say they hope for a 45% turnout rate in next Tuesday's general election. For the county's primary in May, 39,024 people cast ballots, accounting for 14.5% of the county's voters. The primary was the county's first time using vote centers, which allow registered voters to cast their ballot on Election Day at any of the 53 locations. In previous elections, residents could vote only at the location designated for their area. The last general election in 2024 had a nearly 58% turnout rate with 285,127 registered voters.
