Amador County – Party turnouts in Amador County ranked 7th overall of the 58 counties in California in last Tuesday’s Primary Election, according to information collected by the Amador County Elections Department. That accounts for over half of the registered voters in the County. The department lists 7,156 Democrats voters representing 34.18 percent of the all registered voters in the county, 4,195 of which voted in the latest election. Registered Republican voters equal a total of 9,404, or 44.92 percent of the overall total. Of those, 5,887 Republicans participated in Tuesday’s election. 18.75 percent of the County’s 3,381 registered nonpartisan voters cast 634 ballots on Tuesday. Another 706 citizens representing 3.37 of Amador’s registered voters also participated Tuesday, including members of the Libertarian, Peace and Freedom, Green and American Independent parties. California elections in general receive low voter turnout when compared to other states. Last week, only 24.8 percent of registered voters participated, which translates to an even lower 18.3 percent of Californians who are eligible to vote.
