Gage County Election Commissioner Dawn Hill said all registered voters in Gage County, around 14,000 people, received a yellow card to request an early ballot by mail. “We did send out cards to every registered voter like we did in the past so nobody misses out on the opportunity to vote,” she said. “We had 6,000 early ballots and, to my recollection, I think that’s the most we’ve ever had vote in a primary,” she said. “I don’t recall ever having that kind of turnout combined, let alone early ballots.”Of the 6,386 votes cast this spring, 5,626 were early ballots. The figures represent a total voter turnout of 45.29%.
