COLUMBUS, Ohio — Early voting numbers are still being calculated, but the primary has significantly lower turnout than in previous presidential election years. The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections believes it is because of uncompetitive primaries for the nation's leader.
Plus, 2020 popularized absentee voting, as demonstrated by the following elections, especially in 2022 and 2023. For that election, Cuyahoga Democrats returned 43,000 mail-in ballots, Republicans 15,000 and nonpartisan 16,000 — plus 22,000 in person. The county has dropped 51% since August 2023.The two other election powerhouses — Franklin and Hamilton Counties — are also seeing low turnout in the 2024 primary so far, as is Summit County. Columbus is in Franklin, and Cincinnati is in Hamilton.
Counties like Stark, Mahoning, which has Youngstown, and Montgomery, which has Dayton, and Lucas, which has Toledo, are seeing the same trend.Republican: 2,000Montgomery CountyRepublicans: 4,000It isn't just urban areas, either.
