Cook County Turnout for Primary about 25%

         The League clearly has a lot of work to do to convince people to vote. 


                                   Registered Voters      Ballots Cast         % Turnout
Suburban Cook              1,727,843                394,256                22.82%
City of Chicago               1,555,301                 424,564               27.30%
Total                                  3,283,144                 818,820               24.94%

Interestingly, in looking at the total ballots cast in each political party’s primary (Democratic, Libertarian, and Republican), no individual race (state-wide or county-wide) received the same number of votes as were cast in total for that political party. The highly contested U.S. Senate race received the highest number of votes, but even that was several thousand votes shy of the total votes cast for that political party. Voters were picking which races, as well as candidates, to vote for.
