Voter turnout was low across much of central and northern Michigan in yesterday's primary election.
Most counties saw voter turnout in the 15 to 20 percent range. That puts this year's August primary on par with the last four primaries held during presidential election years.

"This is something we do all the time. We don't miss it. It's our patriotic duty because I want to make sure the people I like are going to win."
Some counties saw better voter turnout that others. For example, the Upper Peninsula's Luce County, home to just four precincts, saw over 36 percent of its voters come to the polls yesterday.
That compares to Genesee County, where voter turnout was averaging closer to 15 percent.
