Officials say this has been a historic early voting season for Ada County with 34,858 people already casting their ballots in person -- and 27,442 absentee ballots issued.
“This is the first election in Ada County where more early votes have been cast in person versus mailed ballots. History was made Tuesday, November 1st, when 3,998 people voted early,” said Ada County spokesperson Kate McGwire. “The previous record for early voter turnout in one day was 2012, when 1,920 votes were cast on the last day of early voting.
