Q&A: What California's low voter turnout so far means for primary

This year's ballots for California's June 7 primary election include high-level candidates, but less than one week before election day, early voter turnout is "anemic" so far, according to political data analysts, especially in comparison to how many voters returned a ballot one week prior to the Gov. Gavin Newsom recall election. Political Data Intelligence has been tracking voter turnout for decades. Newly released numbers on Wednesday shows of the 21.8 million ballots mailed out to voters, just over 2 million people have returned their ballots so far, which equals out to about a 9% turnout statewide.
