San Juan County records state’s second-highest voter turnout
Posted November 14, 2022 at 11:01 am by Jeff Arnim
With several significant elections and propositions on the Nov. 8 general election ballot, San Juan County voters made sure to have their voices heard. 77.6 percent of eligible voters returned their ballots by last Tuesday’s deadline, according to statistics provided by the Washington Secretary of State.
San Juan County’s voter turnout rate was second in the state only to Garfield County, where 78.7 percent of eligible voters took part in the election. San Juan has more than eight times as many registered voters (14,635) as Garfield (1,687).
The San Juan County Elections Office estimates that only 50 ballots are left to count for the Nov. 8 election. The County Canvassing Board will review the election results on Monday, Nov. 28 and will certify the results on Tuesday, Nov. 29.

We can do better next election, let’s be number one in voter turn out!
Well, for a mid-term election where usually 50% turnout is norm, hurray for us. Wasn’t 2020 election 92%? I thought that was amazing, too.
