Martin and Rush counties posted the highest turnout this year, while Putnam and Tippecanoe counties came in the lowest, with just 2% turnout.

A little more than half of Hoosier registered voters cast a ballot. That's a 70 percent increase from the last midterm, 2014.

The Marion County Clerk's office says nearly 27,000 people cast their votes in person as of Monday evening.

A fifth of all Hoosier registered voters cast a ballot in last month's primary election.

It's a significant increase over the 2014 midterm primary turnout, but a shade under 2010's turnout, which was 21 percent.

Thirty-seven percent of people under the age of 30 say they will definitely vote in November's election.

A little more than half of the 700,000 registered voters in Marion County showed up to vote in last month's election.
