Contentious races at the national, state and local levels helped lead to the largest election in the history of Coconino County. The county saw over 81% of registered voters turn out for the November general election with nearly 74,000 ballots cast. The election with the next highest voter turnout was 2008, according to the county recorder’s office. At that time, the county saw a 78.5% voter turnout, but had fewer registered voters. Preceding that high turnout was also a significant increase in voter registration, which reached over 90,000 ahead of Election Day.
