In the 2016 election, 65.24% of registered voters cast a ballot. So far this year, 56.85% of registered voters have voted.RELATED | That percentage will keep rising as early voting continues through Friday and voters head to the polls on Election Day this coming Tuesday. On Election Day in 2016, 103,536 people — or 14.14% of registered voters — cast a ballot.The election looks different this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
