Election 2024: Millions of Californians have already voted. Will turnout match 2020?
California's primary election is just around the corner, and millions of Californians have already cast their ballots.
As of March 10, 2024, over 5 million Californians had voted, according to data from the California Secretary of State's office. This is a significant increase from the 2020 primary election, when just over 4 million Californians voted.The high turnout in California's primary election is likely due to a number of factors, including the large number of competitive races on the ballot. This year's primary election features a competitive race for governor, as well as several closely contested congressional races.
It is still too early to say whether turnout in the 2024 general election will match the record-breaking turnout in 2020.
However, the high turnout in the primary election is a positive sign for election officials. It suggests that there is a great deal of interest in the upcoming election, and that Californians are eager to make their voices heard.The 2020 general election was a record-breaker, with over 81 million Americans casting their ballots. This was the highest voter turnout in over a century.
The high turnout in 2020 was likely due to a number of factors, including the contentious nature of the presidential race, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the widespread use of mail-in voting.
It is unclear whether the 2024 general election will see a similar level of turnout.
However, the high turnout in the primary election suggests that there is a great deal of interest in the upcoming election.Election officials are urging Californians to make sure they are registered to vote and to cast their ballots in the upcoming election.
