Republicans have a 14% higher turnout compared to 2020, while Democrats have a 40% lower turnout than four years ago. The total in-person EV votes stand at 1,688,956, with Republicans leading at 1,162,067 and Democrats at 526,889. The final total turnout is 10% above the 2022 primary but 10% below the 2020 election.
