Leelanau County had the highest voter turnout in Michigan, according to the Michigan Voter Information Center, with the most registered voters turning out to cast their ballots in the Nov. 5 general election.
The Michigan Department of State (DOS) says 17,834 of 22,247 registered voters in Leelanau County turned out for the general election, or 80.2% of voters. The official results, a statement of votes cast on leelanau.gov/ electionresults.asp, suggest an even higher percentage turnout, mostly because they report a smaller total number of registered voters.
This document says 17,840 out of 20,094 registered voters turned out for the general election, for an approximately 88.8% turnout. The differences in total registered voters are because the county does not include some inactive registered voters who have moved and/or have not voted in the last six years.
