Sussex County Director of Elections, Ken McDowell, told WGMD that turnout in Sussex around 1pm was light to moderate, and it had been a relatively quiet day – with no real problems at the various polling locations. McDowell said there was one problem this morning when they went to open the Morris Early Learning Center location in Lincoln, which took a lightning strike during the storms Monday night. Ten voters had to vote at other locations – before the site was up and running by about 9:30am.

Over 21,700 absentee ballots were sent out in Sussex County and McDowell was expecting around 16,000 to be returned (around 16,624 from the unofficial numbers)
For the state – he was estimating over 50,000 absentee ballots statewide (from the unofficial numbers – 55,723 absentee ballots returned statewide).
