Voter turnout in Tuesday’s municipal primary elections hit historic lows in Mifflin and Juniata counties, with only about 25% of registered voters participating. Election directors said the turnout, though higher than some Pennsylvania counties, remains troubling and reflects ongoing voter apathy for local races. Both counties processed results smoothly, with Juniata finishing counting by 9:15 p.m. and Mifflin by 9:30 p.m. Certification is expected within two weeks. Officials cited blank ballots and lack of contested races as possible reasons for low engagement, while pointing to much higher participation during presidential election years.
