Sorry, Charlie, put away the boxing gloves. Let's just say for now that a larger percentage of voters will fill out a ballot this fall

Faced with a raft of contested local races and school referendum questions, fewer than one in five Dane County residents cast ballots in Tuesday’s election. 
Dane County voters cast 81,104 ballots, or about 18.5% of the adult population, the lowest turnout for the spring election in eight years. 
With no City Council races and just one contested County Board seat, turnout was even lighter in Madison, at just under 15.8%. That was the case even with a contested citywide Madison School Board election.
 
By way of comparison (November 2020)
