Chase County turnout just over 42% in Aug. 4 primary, clerk says

During the canvass and subsequent discussion, the clerk and chair noted voter turnout in the Aug. 4 primary amounted to just over 42 percent. The clerk characterized the county's turnout as "one of the higher percentages in the state," and commissioners thanked poll workers and staff for their efforts.

The turnout figure was raised as part of the canvass conversation that followed the counting and provisional-ballot review. No county-wide registration totals were provided in the transcript; the clerk's description compared Chase County's turnout to other counties in Kansas without citing specific statewide figures.
