Low turnout for election

COUNTY -- The City of Kirkman had the highest voter turnout in the county for the Tuesday, Nov. 7 election, and overall turnout was predictably low for an off-presidential year election day.

    Lowest for voter turnout in the election was Irwin, which saw only 19 of the 246 registered voters cast ballots for a 7.72 percent voter turnout.
