Indiana’s Secretary of State says 58 percent of registered Hoosier voters cast ballots in November’s presidential election. Voter turnout in the state was made official in a report today. The state saw more than 2.8 million votes cast.
This year’s presidential election set a new state record for early voting – with 33 percent of voters filling out absentee ballots or voting early in person. In 2008, when the last record was set, that number was 24 percent.
