Historically, municipal primary elections which occur in odd years without President, Governor or Senate candidates running, often have low voter turnout. For instance, in 2013 only 300 (11%) of Easttown Democrats bothered to vote in that year’s primary while 734 (25%) voted in 2017.
This year saw a substantial increase in the number of voters to about 1,200 (36%) of Easttown Democrats voting which is an impressive 59% increase in turnout over 2017 despite concerns about Covid or competing with a gorgeous day to be outside rather than voting. Overall, based on the unofficial returns so far, it appears that about 40% of the votes by Easttown Democrats were by Vote-By-Mail. Thank you to all the volunteers who worked so hard to spread the word and to all the Easttown Democrats who made a difference by voting in this year’s Primary!
Congratulations to the following Primary winners and we look forward to see them winning in November!
