Rural Counties Top State In Primary Turnout; Escambia At Almost 31 Percent
September 2, 2018
By the time polls closed Tuesday night, 27.46 percent of registered Florida voters had cast primary-election ballots.
The voter turnout was 30.76 percent in Escambia County and 26.57 percent in Santa Rosa County
But turnout in some rural North Florida counties dwarfed the state rate.
The highest turnout rate, 56.46 percent, was in Franklin County, followed by 55.33 percent in neighboring Liberty County, according to numbers posted on the state Division of Elections website.
The state’s lowest turnout rate, 20.6 percent, came in Central Florida’s Osceola County as followed by a 21.35 percent rate in Miami-Dade County.
