  • Post-Election Report Takes a Comprehensive Look at the Voting Totals, Trends and Statistics During the March Primary Throughout Suburban Cook County
    Letter from David Orr Cook County Clerk Dear Friends: This March 20 Gubernatorial Primary generated great interest up and down the ballot, and we saw this result in record-breaking or near-record setting marks in the number of registered voters, voters who took part in the election, the percentage of voters who participated in Early Voting, and the overall turnout rate. Not only have we reached a record-high number of registered voters in suburban Cook County (1,549,688), the turnout for Early Voting was higher than any other Gubernatorial Primary and nearly as high as the 2016 Presidential Primary, and the number of voters who cast ballots in this election was more than had participated in a Gubernatorial Primary Election in the last 30 years. This 2018 Gubernatorial Primary Post-Election Report takes a comprehensive look at the voting totals, trends and statistics during the March primary throughout suburban Cook County. Below is a sample size of the standout primary numbers: • Voting before Election Day – by mail or during early voting and grace period voting – accounted for 29 percent of all ballots cast in this election. • Early Voting also set a new Gubernatorial Primary record with 109,811 ballots cast in-person before Election Day. That’s the highest total yet for a Gubernatorial Primary, and for Primary Elections, second only to the 2016 Presidential Primary (120,681). • Election Day Registration, offered for the first time in a Gubernatorial Primary, was popular with voters, especially younger ones. Voters between 17 and 22 years old made up 32 percent of the 4,278 who took advantage of Election Day Registration.

Washington, Suite 500, Chicago, Illinois 60602 TEL (312) 603-0996 FAX (312) 603-9788 WEB cookcountyclerk.com Dear Friends: Th e 2012 Presidential Primary was the fi rst presidential primary without a major Democratic contest since 1996, and the results demonstrate it. At 24 percent, overall turnout was dramatically down from 43 percent in the 2008 Presidential Primary, when there were seven candidates vying for the Democratic nomination. Th is year, the Democratic vote was down 61 percent from 447,173 to 173,752 ballots cast. But the Republican vote was more robust, up 12 percent from 136,593 to 152,854 votes with a ballot featuring six candidates running for their party’s presidential nomination. Despite the downturn in Democratic voters and uptick in Republican voters, overall ballots still tilted signifi cantly to Democrats, at 53 percent of all ballots cast. Nearly 1 percent of voters took nonpartisan ballots. We found some signifi cant economic trends, despite the low turnout. On the Republican side, Mitt Romney won every township in Cook County. A closer look at his results shows that his support was strongest in those townships with higher incomes, as determined by the U.S. Census Bureau. Th ere were few close races for nominations in this primary. Four of the fi ve closest races were referendums, all of which were electricity aggregation referendums. Fifty-fi ve of the 66 electricity aggregation referendums on the ballot in Suburban Cook County won approval.
