WC voter turnout exceeds 76% for general election, surpassing 2016 numbers

                As the dust cleared after Tuesday’s general election, Wright County Auditor Betty Ellis was happy with how the process in the county went. It was a remarkably busy last several months and voter turnout numbers added to that. According to Ellis’s records, turnout for this election stood at about 76.3% with 6,308 of the county’s 8,261 registered voters casting ballots. This is up a healthy amount from the 2016 election with 70.4% voter turnout.
