Minnesota officials certified last week’s primary vote Tuesday, confirming it as the lowest primary turnout since 2016.

Fifteen percent of registered voters cast ballots on Aug. 13. This translates to only 12 percent of all eligible voters. In 2016, 7 percent of eligible people voted.

“The thing about primaries is it is so dependent on who or what is on the ballot. If there's a hot contest somewhere, then people show up. If not, they tend not to,” said Steve Simon, Minnesota’s Secretary of State.
