Voter Turnout By Election
1898 - 2006 are unofficial totals.
Those elections occurred prior to the current database and have been manually collected from archived documents.
Prior to 1938, voter registration was handled by the city clerks and, in unincorporated areas, by the County Auditor. It was not until the election reforms of the early 1930s that the oversight of voter list management transferred to the County Auditor. Prior to that, each city clerk managed their own list and did not publish voter registration numbers. No precinct could have more than 250 registered voters and in a state with 898,159 (1938) registered voters that meant 3,593 precincts. There was no singular tracking of overall voter registration numbers until the mid 1930s.

Voter Turnout By Election
1898 - 2006 are unofficial totals.
Those elections occurred prior to the current database and have been manually collected from archived documents.
Prior to 1938, voter registration was handled by the city clerks and, in unincorporated areas, by the County Auditor. It was not until the election reforms of the early 1930s that the oversight of voter list management transferred to the County Auditor. Prior to that, each city clerk managed their own list and did not publish voter registration numbers. No precinct could have more than 250 registered voters and in a state with 898,159 (1938) registered voters that meant 3,593 precincts. There was no singular tracking of overall voter registration numbers until the mid 1930s.
