Snohomish County voters participated in this month’s midterm election at a near record level.
Turnout will reach 70.6 percent once the last dozen or so ballots are tallied Monday, the third-highest rate in a non-presidential election in county history.
The best ever, 72.5 percent, occurred in 1934, midway through President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first term. In 2010, halfway through the first term of President Barack Obama, turnout reached 71.7.
“We are very pleased with the number of people that chose to vote this election,” emailed county elections manager Garth Fell. “The parties were motivated, candidates were actively campaigning and voters responded.”
