City still stands a chance to beat low voter turnout
April 7, 2009
Salisbury — Voter turnout is up to 12.2 percent after one of the busiest voting times has passed.
The Wicomico County Board of Elections reports 154 voters at St. James AME Zion Church in District 1, 596 at Wicomico Presbyterian in District 2 and 794 at Harvest Baptist in District 2.
The 3 p.m. count was the final tally of the day before polling places close at 7 p.m. Polls typically see an influx of voters from 5 to 7 p.m., when many city residents get off work. Voter turnout may still beat the markedly low 17.9 percent turnout in the last mayoral election.

Salisbury — Turnout rose slightly at St. James AME Zion Church and Harvest Baptist Church between the 3 p.m. check-in point and the dinner rush.
