That’s three times as many people who voted absentee in the 2018 primary, and four times as many as in the 2016 primary.
Elections Commission administrator Meagan Wolfe said the numbers hint that many more people will vote absentee in November. She’s expecting more than two-million people to vote absentee in the general election.
