Turnout, including mail-in ballots and results from votes cast on Election Day in the county’s 307 precincts, was nearly 68%, according to totals released by the elections office.

Totals from this year’s election exceeded the number of mail-in and absentee ballots turned in by voters in each of the past two years.
