ºÙºÙÊÓƵ

Yolo County election officials said 2,210 people cast ballots during five days of early voting at ºÙºÙÊÓƵ last week. This year’s early turnout at ºÙºÙÊÓƵ was nearly double the early turnout of 1,135 in the 2004 presidential election, when the county first set up an early-voting station at ºÙºÙÊÓƵ, at the urging of student Brian McInnis ‘06. Last week’s turnout proved so large that, on Day 2, election officials moved to a bigger room in the MU and added more booths. Still, 20 to 30 people at times waited in line in the hallway.
