About two-thirds of the 512,593 absentee ballots issued to Republican and Democratic voters had been returned to municipal clerks through Wednesday, according to the Secretary of State Ruth Johnson’s office.
Johnson’s office says 340,025 absentee ballots had been returned as of Wednesday, surpassing the 328,293 absentee ballots cast in the 2012 presidential primary.
