The unofficial results for Lycoming County’s municipal election show that just over 38% of the county’s 67,854 registered voters turned out to the polls on Tuesday. Nearly 70% voted Republican, 26.5% voted Democrat and about 3% were Independent.
Voters were met with a new ballot system, comprised of paper ballots that were then scanned into a digital machine.
This year’s turnout was over 20% lower than last year, however it’s on par with the 2015 municipal election – when the commissioners and mayor were last on the ballot.
