23rd
Likely rank of yesterday’s (Tuesday’s) special runoff election in terms of turnout, compared to all legislative and congressional special and runoff elections since 2013 that did not coincide with an even-year November general election.
Unofficial election results indicate 7.9% of registered voters cast ballots in the CD6 special runoff election, which was roughly half the turnout of the May 1 special election. It would place the runoff election almost exactly in the middle of the pack.
