Hal! of county voters Z We' L-00CO fo L I! llo " ve gone , r our ooa receive early ba ts -----==- .... By Michael Maresh registered voters on the early  []1 LARSON NEWSPAPERS voting list.  (lar oly) With election day less than a week away, a good percentage of Yavapai County voters could be casting their ballots early. Yavapai County Recorder Ana Wayman-Trujillo said the county has 122,000 registered voters, and 62,000 of them received an early ballot. She said she was not sure how many early ballots had been returned Wayman-Trujillo said voter turnout for a state election in the county is between 83 and 85 percent, so if the trend remains, 103,000 to 104,000 county resi- dents will vote. She said the 83 to 85 percent of people voting includes the percentage for residents voting early. "We don't get all the early ballots back," she said. "We get 85 percent back." The number of county resi- dents voting early is not a huge surprise, she said. In recent state- wide elections, 50 percent voted early. She anticipates this year's early voting numbers could be higher because residents are getting used to the idea. "It could be 60 percent by the time we are done," she said. Residents, she said, have two ways. to receive an early ballot call the county to request one or sign up to be on the early voting list. Wayman-Trujillo said there are about 47,000 Yavapai County Early voting has been increasing throughout Arizona for a few years, she said. "Sixty percent is not abnormal [for the county]," she said. "We are looking at 60 percent, not the normal 50 percent. More people are finding how much they enjoy voting early." She said voters do not like standing in line in cold weather to vote, especially when realizing there is an alternative. One reason the county might receive more early ballots this year is because of the number of propositions. She said many voters need to research the initiatives to gather more information, she said. "It is easier to do [research] in • your home," she said. "I think people like to take their time and read all the information before voting." The Arizona secretary of state's office did its logic and accuracy test on the county's voting equip- ment on Monday, Oct. 25. Wayman-Trujillo said passing this test allows the county to process votesbefore the Tuesday, Nov. 2, election date, though the figures cannot be released until then. The first results the county releases election night will include the early ballots, she said. She said people still wanting to vote early should drop off their ballots at polling locations since there might not be enough time for them to be received by mail. -.a, !
