Expecting large primary turnout, state plans ahead

The Secretary of State will go over plans today to try to ensure voting in the March 4 primary is efficient and accessible.

In a statement released this morning, Secretary of State A. Ralph Mollis said his office is predicting as many as twice the number of people will turn out to vote in this election than did for the 2000 presidential primary.

The State Board of Elections, local boards of canvassers and the Secretary of State worked together with different groups to try to make sure there are enough poll workers, and that employers give workers time to get to the polls.

More details on the state's plans to try to simplify March 4 voting will be released at a 3 p.m. press conference.
