Md. looks to rebound from low primary turnout

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland Democrats and Republicans were equally unenthusiastic about voting in June’s primary, a fact that has the gubernatorial campaigns of Democratic Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown and Republican Larry Hogan focusing on boosting turnout in November.

For both parties, turnout was about 24 percent, according to recently updated numbers from the Maryland State Board of Elections. Overall, voter turnout in the primary was about 22 percent of eligible voters. The numbers vary slightly because some third-party voters could cast primary ballots and some unaffiliated voters could as well if they were voting for other races.
