Clark County’s streak of dismal voter turnout remains unbroken.

According to preliminary figures from the Secretary of State’s office, Clark had one of the lowest turnouts in the Nov. 5 general election among the state’s 39 counties. Of 246,865 registered voters countywide, ballots from 90,907 people have been tabulated and another 1,500 ballots are left to be counted today.

Many other counties still have ballots to count, but Clark appears on track to finish in the bottom two with Yakima County, each with 37 percent, once final results are in.

Average turnout among all counties, reported at 41 percent on Nov. 9, is on pace to hit 44 percent once results are certified later this month.

Counties with the greatest voter participation included Wahkiakum, San Juan and Jefferson, each with turnout exceeding 60 percent.

Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey said Monday he wasn’t surprised to hear Clark was near the bottom, as the county has consistently lagged behind other counties in terms of voter turnout. Kimsey had predicted turnout of 42 percent, but even that proved too optimistic.
