Medina officials expect huge turnout in 2020 election
Medina County Board of Elections director Carol Lawler predicts at least 80 percent of the 130,226 registered voters will vote in the November 3 general election. The surge is tied to the Trump Biden presidential race and past high turnouts, with absentee ballots already rising to about 20,000 by 2016 and 30,000 outgoings as of October 6 this year. Provisional ballots will be reviewed, and official certification occurs three weeks after the election.
