Following the November 3rd general election, Nowata County Election Board Secretary Dave Neely updated the county commissioners on voter turnout.
 

Neely gave the update during a meeting of the Nowata County Commission on Monday morning. He says approximately half of registered Nowata County voters cast a ballot in the last week's general election.
 

Last week's totals follow up near record turnout during the period for early voting. Between 400 and 500 votes were recorded during the early voting period in the days leading up to Election Day last Tuesday.

Less than 3,000 total votes were recorded in the race for Associate District Judge in Nowata County between James Pfeffer and Linda Branstetter.
