More Johnson County voters went to the polls or mailed in ballots for the 2021 general election than in any other recent odd year election. Before Tuesday, county election officials predicted a 20% turnout among registered voters, but actual turnout comfortably surpassed that estimate. As of Wednesday, the Johnson County Election Office reported 110,027 ballots cast, for a turnout of 24.88%. And that number will continue to creep up over the next few days as mail-in ballots that were dropped off or postmarked before polls closed on Election Day are added to the total, along with provisional ballots.
