Election 2018 Primary: Grimes predicts 30 percent turnout - Tuesday 22 May 2018 Grimes said she tracks absentee ballot totals as an indicator of final turnout on Election Day. According to current statistics, Grimes projects turnout for the May 22 Primary Election will be about par with the midterm elections of 2014 and 2010 when 26.8 percent and 32.2 percent of Kentuckians voted, respectively. Click on headline for complete story Kentucky Press News Service Original Story URL Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes is projecting a turnout of 30 percent or less of the 3.3 million people registered to vote in next week's Primary Election. Even though a 30 percent turnout sounds low, it would represent the highest participation in a Kentucky Primary Election in nearly a decade. Approximately 32 percent of Kentuckians voted in the 2010 midterm Primary Election, a news release from Grimes said. "Next Tuesday, I think you will see a Kentucky electorate that is beginning to get up, get out, and get loud with voters making their voices heard at the polls," Grimes said. "We have witnessed dismal levels of participation in the last few years - 20 percent in 2016, a presidential election, and only 12 percent in the last Governor's race in 2015. This year, I think we could see the number of Kentuckians going to the polls improving." Grimes said she tracks absentee ballot totals as an indicator of final turnout on Election Day. According to current statistics, Grimes projects turnout for the May 22 Primary Election will be about par with the midterm elections of 2014 and 2010 when 26.8 percent and 32.2 percent of Kentuckians voted, respectively. As of Monday, nearly 25,000 voters had voted in person on machines in county clerks' offices and approximately 12,000 mail-in absentee ballots were sent to voters who had requested them.
