Today is Election Day, and according to City Clerk Susan Peterson, between 13 and 15,000 residents are expected to cast their vote in Latah County.
Petersen said there have been 3,505 absentee ballots already received, which will bring this year’s election participation on par with the last presidential election in 2008. She said the 2008 election saw 18,071 voters in Latah County, about 3,600 of those votes from absentee ballots.
