Voter turnout in La Porte County could be high in Tuesday’s primary election judging by early voting totals.

La Porte County Clerk Heather Stevens said more than 3,200 people had voted early as of 3 p.m. on Saturday.

In comparison, just over 2,500 people voted early in the last primary in 2024, which was a presidential election when turnout is traditionally the strongest.

“So, we’re doing well,” she said.

Stevens said she believes the early voting turnout has a lot to do with heavy interest since each party has a lot of contested races this year.

“People are paying attention,” she said.

The early voting deadline Is today at 12 p.m.

The polls are open Tuesday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the over 30 voting center locations in La Porte County.
