Turnout in early voting on an alcohol referendum on the ballot in Dayton, Tenn., has been light, but still about what officials expected.
Since early voting began March 30, 232 early ballots have been cast, Rhea County Administrator of Elections Tom Davis said Monday. Dayton has 4,083 registered voters.
“We’re hoping to do better than that,” Davis said.
“Historically, we vote about 50-50, early voting and election day, respectively,” he said. “We’re expecting somewhere between 500 and 700, so that would put us right in there.”
