Despite the long lines for early voting and Election Day, voter turnout in Marion County was lower than it was four years ago. Director of Elections Patrick Becker said there's still lots of work to be done. "We were able to tabulate over 133,000 absentee ballots on Election Day, which is the most we've been able to do in this county," Becker said. Marion County saw nearly 50% voter turnout, a statistic Becker anticipates growing to about 54% once military, overseas, mail-in ballots and Election Day arrival ballots are counted. When you compare voter turnout to nearby counties, more than 60% of voters headed to the polls.
