Local issues driving turnout in North Dakota primary early voting
North Dakota’s largest county is driving early voting turnout in the state despite fewer than usual high-profile offices on the ballot this year.
Cass County accounts for more than 7,000 of the nearly 30,000 votes cast so far in North Dakota, including more than half of the 5,200 ballots submitted at in-person early voting sites that began operating in some counties earlier this week, including Cass on Tuesday.
“It appears Cass County is on track of surpassing their early voter total from four years ago, and I’d imagine that Fargo mayor’s race is sparking that,” said Michael Howe, secretary of state. “There was a line waiting to begin, which is great to see. People were eager to cast their ballot early.”
Fargo has five candidates seeking to lead the state’s largest city.
