With approximately 28,400 ballots cast, turnout for this year’s primary election was up compared to last year, but down compared to the last presidential primary.

More than 35,000 ballots were cast in the 2016 presidential primary election. With President Donald Trump running as an incumbent, and the Democratic nomination all but secured by former Vice President Joe Biden, the lack of a true presidential contest was likely as big a driver of down turnout as the coronavirus pandemic. Mail-in ballots undoubtedly buoyed turnout this year, although these ballots aren’t broken out in the county’s online election results. Watch LebTown later this week for a followup on this subject.

Officially, the voter turnout for the election is 38.37% at present, or 28,401 out of 74,013 registered voters. In 2016, those figures were 42.87%, or 35,290 out of 82,315 registered voters.

36% of registered Democrats voted, compared to 40% of registered Republicans. In 2016, those figures were 37% of registered Democrats and 56% of registered Republicans.

LebTown has compiled election results for review. This information is also available in PDF form on the county’s website (summary PDF, precinct-level PDF).

The results below should be considered unofficial and preliminary.

On Monday, June 8, Lebanon County Director of Elections Michael Anderson told us that there were still about 100 ballots to review that didn’t scan (due to physical defects such as cuts or rips) and over 100 provisional ballots that would need to be reviewed by the Board of Elections. Military Ballots also had until Tuesday, June 9, to be received by the county.

The Board of Elections meetings was Wednesday, June 10.

Anderson said in an email Wednesday, June 10, that these results should still be considered unofficial until Tuesday, June 16, when the five day review period expires.
