According to Hubbard County Auditor Marie Demoret, about 1,600 – or nearly 10% of registered voters – put their ballots in the tabulator before Election Day 2026.

“If you include absentee and mail ballot, we have about 22% of the county that voted early,” she said.
In Arago Township, head judge Megan Auzenne reported 60% voter turnout at 5 p.m.
“Very busy,” she said. “This is phenomenal, especially for a midterm.”
The morning started with 135 early and absentee votes already submitted, said Auzenne.
Leslie Harvey, head judge in Lake George Township, saw voters she’s never met before at this election – and she’s lived in Lake George her whole life.
“It seems like voters are getting out and saying their peace,” Harvey said.
“It’s been phenomenal,” chimed Helga Township head judge Kathy Skinner. “Numbers are good compared to, overall in general, experience as a voter. I’m impressed.”
