Voter Turnout Reported 'Steady' Across State

Voter turnout was reported to be "steady" in most areas of the state today.

State Election Board Secretary Mike Clingman has predicted a turnout of about 900,000, which would be about 44 percent of the electorate. Good weather and some hot races could drive the number up, observers believe.

Turnout is expected to be high in State Senate districts with contested races; those districts include portions of the state in the northeast, west, southwest and central. Voting was said to be heavy in Rogers County, site of one of those hot Senate races.

Polls are open until 7 p.m.
