[Update, 8 p.m.] Avon Polls Closed for 5th District, Senate Primary

Update, 7 p.m.

Voter turnout reached about 28.2 percent in Avon as of a 6 p.m. tally.

Here's the turnout broken down by voting district:

• District 1: 859, including 94 absentee ballots, or 28.1 percent.
• District 2: 610, including 56 absentee ballots, or 31.47 percent.
• District 3: 600, including 35 absentee ballots, or 27.7 percent.

That is a boost in this primary in comparison to the presidential primary when about 599 voted, or 15.2 percent of registered Republicans, according to Registrar Laura Hunt (R).

"I would see more people are voting Republican in town today," Registrar Ann Clark (D) said.

However, at this point the voter turnout is less than voted in the 5th District primary two years ago, Clark said.

Polls close at 8 p.m. Check back with Avon Patch for the results tonight.
