Neel said 440 of those ballots were cast in person while 8,352 were submitted by mail or dropped off before polls closed Tuesday. In 2017, another odd-year election, only 4,837 people voted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is almost twice as many as we had in 2017, so we were really happy with the turnout,\u201d Neel said.<\/p>\n<p>Neel added that it was the highest voter turnout for an odd-year election that Summit County has ever seen. The final election results update for the night came at 11:36 p.m. as the high volume of ballots coupled with scanner issues meant continued counting late into the night.<\/p>\n<p>As for the breakdown by party, the majority of voters, 41%, were not registered with a political party. Democrats edged out Republicans with 35% of the vote compared with 23%. Less than 1% of voters were registered with other parties.<\/p>\n<p>By age, the largest group of voters was 60- to 69-year-olds. The oldest Summit County voter was 96. On the other end of the spectrum, 40 18-year-olds cast their first ballots.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p402_hide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<div class=\"caption-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/election-2019.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-374097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/election-2019.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/election-2019-300x228.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/summit-county-saw-a-record-voter-turnout-for-an-odd-year-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summit County residents vote Tuesday, Nov. 5, at the Silverthorne Pavilion.Liz Copan \/ ecopan@summitdaily.com FRISCO \u2014 Election Day on Tuesday, Nov. 5, saw record voter turnout from Summit County residents.
