The Buzz will be publishing a regular update on the 2014 turnout. The estimate based on voter turnout in 2010 is about 2.2 million voters (72% of active voters of 2.9 million). The returns of 518,000 as of Friday, October 2014 are below what would be expected a week into the election (18%).
Although each election is unique in its turnout pattern, given the attention on voting in the 2014 election and the universal mail-back ballot, it was assumed about a third of voters would return ballots the first week. Ballot mailing began Tuesday, the day after Columbus Day, October 14.
