Cass County reports 19.38% primary turnout; ACLU called the election "well‑coordinated"

Sarah, the county’s finance director, briefed the commission on the recent primary election, saying turnout was 19.38% with 29,162 voters — a 4.75 percentage‑point increase over prior years. "Turnout was at 19.38%. That was an increase of 4.75% over prior years," she said.

Sarah said most polling locations ran smoothly though a few sites required additional paperwork or follow‑up; she quoted a letter from the ACLU (Cody Scheler) describing the election as "well‑coordinated" with very few issues. Commissioners commended Sarah and her team and noted coordination with the Secretary of State and neighboring counties helped the process.

Sarah later corrected the ACLU contact’s last name, apologizing for an earlier mispronunciation and confirming the correct spelling is Scheler.
