SEB's Kennedy Predicts Up to 20 Percent Turnout

State Elections Board executive director Kevin Kennedy is predicting turnout in today's primary could be up to 20 percent, about 850,000 voters. Four years ago, turnout was 22 percent with a three-way Dem primary for governor. Kennedy said that race gave a bump to the overall turnout, but there isn't anything on this week's ballot that will likely have a similar effect on turnout.

Neither gubernatorial candidate has a primary challenger. That leaves the Dem and GOP primaries for AG as the top races in most districts. There are also contested primaries on both sides in the 8th Congressional District.

Wisconsin has about 4.26 million voters.
