UNA = unaffiliated. Each section shows raw counts alongside a percent table. Absentee ballots requested %: each party's share of the 10,529 total requested. Absentee ballots returned %: that date's returned count as a share of that party's total requested ballots (5,889 Dem / 1,984 Rep / 2,656 UNA / 10,529 total, all as of 10/26/2026 — used as a fixed denominator for every date, so figures after 10/26 may be slightly overstated if more ballots were requested since then). In-person early voting %: that date's cumulative early voters as a share of registered voters in that party who had not requested an absentee ballot as of 10/26/2026 (registered − requested: Total 63,723 − 10,529 = 53,194; Dem 25,874 − 5,889 = 19,985; Rep 18,165 − 1,984 = 16,181; UNA 19,684 − 2,656 = 17,028).

Each rate is the category count divided by registered voters in that party (or total registered voters). 2026 values are cumulative through the latest reported dates: absentee requested 10/26, absentee returned 11/6, and early voting 10/29. 2022 election turnout is final; 2026 turnout is pending.

UNA = unaffiliated/independent. 2022 figures are final totals from that cycle. 2026 figures marked * are cumulative through the latest reported date (absentee requested as of 10/26/2026; absentee returned as of 11/6/2026; early voting as of 10/29/2026) and will continue to rise before Election Day.

In-person early voted	9.07%	15.95%*

General election turnout	56.05%	Pending — Nov 3

Each percentage is that category's total divided by that year's registered voters (60,100 in 2022; 63,723 in 2026). "Early + absentee combined" = absentee ballots returned + in-person early votes, i.e. ballots cast before Election Day. 2026 figures marked * are through the latest reported date and will rise before Election Day (Nov 3, 2026).
