Municipal primaries generally see the lowest turnout of most elections, but this year s vote might have shattered records with its current 25.5% estimated participation.
About 121,340 of the county s 476,127 registered voters showed up either at polling places or, for the first time in a municipal primary, via the state s no-excuse mail-in ballot option.
