It’s too early to tell whether El Paso County’s voter turnout rate this year has met or exceeded its rate from the last two Presidential elections.

Around 2 p.m. Tuesday the Secretary of State’s Office reported that more than 340,000 votes had been cast in El Paso County. This passed the total number of votes cast in the county during the 2016 general election with five hours until the polls closed.

The El Paso County Elections Office said Tuesday night that a finalized estimate of voter turnout would not be available until Wednesday morning, as a new report wouldn’t be run until the county finished counting votes for the night.

Turnout for the two previous Presidential elections hovered around 84% in El Paso County.

County Clerk and Recorder Steve Schleiker had forecasted before the election that turnout could reach as high as 90% of the active voters in El Paso County. Schleiker expected lines and heavy turnout at the in-person voter centers across the county, which manifested at some of the county’s busiest voting centers.

El Paso County estimated that 130,712 unaffiliated voters had voted in the election as of 2 p.m. Tuesday. That was a larger number of votes than either Republicans or Democrats in the county.

Statewide, more than 2.3 million votes had been counted in Colorado as of 9:40 p.m. Tuesday night.
