Weber County clerk/auditor updates projections for municipal primary election turnout

The Aug. 12 municipal primary election is fast approaching in Weber County, where residents in the upper Ogden Valley will pare down the field of mayoral and city council candidates after voting in favor of incorporation last year. Meanwhile, Ogden City residents will narrow the field for two at-large city council seats, with two additional races to be decided in November.

Residents of Harrisville, Hooper, Marriott-Slaterville, North Ogden, Plain City, Pleasant View, Riverdale and Roy will also cast ballots for city council and/or mayoral races.

As of July 1, there were 132,343 active registered voters countywide. Heading into the election, the Weber County Clerk/Auditor’s Office had projected a 34% turnout from 94,032 ballots that were mailed out. As of Wednesday evening, the county had received 11,301 ballots, 9,377 of which had been processed.

The average turnout countywide to that point was 12.5%; leading the way was Ogden Valley, with 23.4% turnout as of Wednesday. Weber County Clerk/Auditor Ricky Hatch told the Standard-Examiner on Friday that turnout in the upper valley could reach as high as 50% or more. Meanwhile, countywide turnout was trending toward a slightly lower mark than was projected.
