"LIHUE After tallying the highest voter turnout in a primary election in 12 years back in August, Kauai led the state in Tuesdays general election with the highest percentage of registered voters making their way to the polls.
Out of 41,869 registered voters, 57.4 percent (or 24,043) cast their vote, down from 62.9 percent in the 2012 presidential election.
Of course, we always would like to have that number be much higher, said County Elections Administrator Lyndon Yoshioka."
