Did you vote in the primary election? Yakima County Auditor Charles Ross issued more than 133,000 ballots more than 2 weeks before the election and the turnout was a low 12.57% on election night.

TURNOUT ALWAYS LOW

Ross says the turnout is always low on an off year election but he's surprised its as low as 12.57%. However Ross says the number will increase with more ballot counting in the days ahead but he doesn't expect the number to double meaning Yakima could end up with a record low primary election turnout.
