Election officials preparing for low voter turnout for Tuesday's primary

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — While election supervisors across WPTV’s five-county viewing area said voters aren’t as enthusiastic as they have been in past election cycles, some data ahead of Tuesday’s primary suggests voters are just as engaged this year, if not more. They’re just not engaging in person.

Friday morning, voters trickled in and out of the library in Palm Beach Gardens. The library is one of 26 early voting locations in Palm Beach County and one of the busiest, according to the Supervisor of Elections office.

“In 2020, there was a little bit more excitement, because you had both the Democratic presidential preference primary and the Republican presidential preference primary,” Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Wendy Sartory Link said.
