Delaware County Board of Elections Republican member Steve Cuckler shared some early voting numbers in Delaware County thus far.

  • About 170,000 registered voters in Delaware County.
  • To date, about 50,000 of those voters have either voted in-person or requested an absentee ballot.

“To give a little perspective, the last midterm in 2022 we had 98,000 voters turnout,” Cuckler said. “We had less registered voters, but we had 98,000 voters turnout and that was about a 64% turnout.”

In the 2024 Presidential Election, Cuckler said Delaware County had an 82% turnout with about 133,000 votes cast.

“People have different prediction models, but you’re going to see the turnout percentage [in this election] probably somewhere between the 64% to 82% [range],” he added. “So maybe around 70%, hopefully more.”
