Voters Turnout Figures in All Counties

A Friend of McHenry County Blog is tracking Illinois State Board of Elections figures and has come up with some questions.

His statewide findings and his questions follow.

Two days ago I downloaded from the State the file containing Pre-election ballot numbers by County.  It states the numbers are changed daily.  No change until almost an hour ago and whoa!How can the number of mail-in ballots drop? 

In total, the number of mail-in ballots dropped by 32,128 for the state.
McHenry County went from 67,826 on Wed. to 66,533 today. 

Clinton and Saline County had reported the number of mail-in ballots and returned on Wed. but now the numbers are zero. To enable comparison to past elections, I have added the City Election Authority numbers to the County in which they reside.  It works 100% except for Rockford which is mostly in Winnebago County has a few voters in Ogle Couny – all of Rockford is added to the Winnebago number. 

Based on voter registration numbers published by the State and election results reported by the State for 2016 and Pre-election ballot info provided by the State at 10:31 this morning here are the voter turnout numbers by County:

  1. Well done who put the data together, and merged the city election authority numbers within the appropriate county, noting city of Rockford variance.

    Good thing the Aurora Election Commission is no more, given it covered 3 counties (DuPage portion of Aurora was never part of AEC).

  2. Just another way to ‘fix’ the elections to get the ‘right’ results.
