Looking at the Carroll County voter turnout in past Gubernatorial Primary Elections:
2018 Primary total turnout percent: 18.29%
- Republican voter turnout: 23.82%
- Democratic voter turnout: 18.09%
- Non-Partisan voter turnout: 3.60%
2014 Primary total turnout percent: 25.32%
2010 Primary total turnout percent: 31.37%
Note: All in all 2022 had a very good voter turnout in the Primary. It will be interesting to see if turnout remains high in the General Election. Many local races ended in the Primary so will the local races of interest remaining (Commissioner District 3 and Board of Education) or some of the other races of interest bring out voters in late October and November?
