(FOX 40) – While voter registration is near historic highs, voter turnout is on track to possibly reach a historic low.
With one day left before California’s primary election day, just 13% of ballots have been turned in, according to the latest ballot tracker from Political Data Intelligence.
Senior citizens, Caucasians and Democrats make up the majority of participants so far.
“The big issue with turn out isn’t just about being able to know the raw number of people that have returned a ballot, but being able to know what that means in terms of the people making choices for this state going forward,” Paul Mitchell, VP of Political Data Intelligence, said.
Secretary of State Shirley Weber announced 81.5% of eligible California voters were registered by late May, the highest percentage in nearly 70 years.
But short of a significant boost in ballots cast Tuesday, this primary could break the record for lowest turnout for an election in state history. That record is currently held by the state’s 2014 primary which had 25% turnout.
