Registrar: Low turnout in San Bernardino County

| | Comments (0) |
SAN BERNARDINO - Turnout for today's election has been low, says San Bernardino County Registrar Kari Verjil.

A low turnout was expected for the election of local and state races. "Everything is going extremely well," Verjil said at 9:20 a.m. today.

Registrar officials experienced one problem at a polling place at Everest College in San Bernardino. A poll worker left the boxes filled with paper ballots at her home, Verjil said.

Registrar officials escorted the worker back to her home, and in the meantime, voters used the one electronic voting machine at the polling place.

As of Monday, the Registrar's Office had received about 70,000 absentee ballots, amounting to about 9 percent of the vote. That total should go up after the mail arrives today, Verjil said.

Her office will release its first wave of results at 8:30 p.m., which will consist of the absentee ballots that have been counted. A second round of results will be updated at 11 p.m., followed by a release at 1 a.m. Final results are expected a few hours later, Verjil said.
