"California's 2024 Primary Election: Projected Historically Low Turnout"

California's voter turnout for the upcoming primary election is on track to be the lowest in history, with only 1.7 million out of 22 million registered voters having returned their mail-in ballots so far. This low turnout could have significant implications for swing districts and the high-stakes Senate race. Factors contributing to the low turnout include an all-but-decided presidential primary, voter apathy, and lack of excitement among likely voters. The state's Democrat-dominated government has made efforts to increase voter turnout, but a recent poll found low enthusiasm for the upcoming election.
