We had an impressive Democratic township-wide turnout in Easttown with 32% more Democrats voting in 2023 compared to 2019 which was the last comparable primary with the same offices on the ballot: school board, township, county row offices, and county/statewide judicial offices. County-wide turnout was 22.2%. Only 24% of Easttown Republicans bothered to vote in the Primary for their candidates. Overall, Democratic turnout in Easttown was 35% compared to 28% in 2019.  Easttown registered Democrats now outnumber registered Republicans by 102. Easttown Democrats are fired up and ready to go for the Fall campaign!
