Indiana saw high voter turnout for a non-presidential election year Tuesday.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the unofficial voter count for the Indiana U.S. Senate race is 2,078,775, with 97.4 percent of precincts reporting, according to the Indiana Secretary of State's office. While the numbers don't reach the level of the presidential election in 2016, they have far surpassed the total voter turnout in 2014's general election, which was 1,388,965.

The unofficial voter count for Marion County is 262,560 as of Wednesday afternoon with 98.7 percent of precincts reporting. That's a surge of more than 40,000 from 2014, when 160,568 people cast their votes. A total of 83,018 people in Marion County voted early this year, up nearly 15,000 from the 2016 presidential election.

Hamilton County election officials reported 138,834 people voted, about 58 percent of registered voters. That's nearly three times the number cast in 2014's general election, with 57,504 voters, but still falls short of the 2016 presidential election, when the turnout was 69 percent.

Johnson County's unofficial voter turnout was 27,998, or 27 percent. That's up more than 4,000 from 2014's general election, despite some technological problems Tuesday.

Phil Barrow, a Johnson County election board member, said voting stalled in some centers about 11 a.m. Tuesday because the voting machines were having problems communicating with the electronic poll books.

However, election officials decided not to seek a court order to extend voting hours. Barrow didn't feel it was necessary to extend the hours because things were once again moving smoothly by mid-afternoon.

There were some other issues throughout the state. In Tippecanoe County, the Lafayette Journal & Courier reported problems with Tippecanoe County’s touch-screen voting machines, a problem that surfaced more than a week ago in early voting. In Monroe County, some polling sites ran out of paper ballots, Fox59 reported.
