Evanston Now But mail-in ballots add unpredictability to the total turnout predictions. Aldermanic candidate Carolyn Murray, right, chats with a friend outside the Primm Towers polling place this morning. 5th Ward aldermanic candidate Carolyn Murray stood in front of a polling place this morning, passing out literature and asking voters for their support. But there were not a lot of voters showing up, at least not in the first few hours of Election Day. At 9 a.m., Murray, who had been outside the Ebenezer-Primm Towers at Emerson and Maple for three hours, said turnout so far had been “very low.”
