Voters are trickling into Alexandria’s precincts on this rainy Tuesday (June 17).

Today’s the Democratic primary for lieutenant governor and attorney general. As of noon, 3,258 Alexandrians (3.33% of registered voters) cast in-person ballots, and 5,511 voted absentee — adding up to 8,769 ballots cast (8.7%).

The city can expect to see a turnout of 9-13% today, according to Angie Turner, the city’s registrar and director of elections.

“If you look back historically, in 2013 we did have a June Democratic primary for the same races, lieutenant governor and attorney general,” Turner said. “In that election, we were right at about 6%, so we’ve already exceeded that, because we are at a total of 8.67% as of noon.”

In Alexandria, the ballot includes:

For Lieutenant Governor

Voters are also choosing between Democrats Shannon L. Taylor and Jay C. Jones for Virginia Attorney General. The winner will challenge incumbent Republican Jason Miyares in November.

Polls close at 7 p.m.
