(Deming) – Officials say just  over one-third of Luna County’s registered voters have already cast ballots for  Tuesday’s 2012 general election.

Luna County Clerk Karen  Smyer said 34% – or 3,670 registered voters – had taken advantage of early and  absentee voting by the time the polls closed Saturday.Luna County has 12,612 registered  voters.

Smyer said the count was down  from 2008 – the last presidential election – when Luna County saw a total voter  turnout of 68%, 41% of those voting early or absentee.

 Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to  7 p.m. Tuesday for voters who did not vote early or absentee.

And we encourage you to  tune in Tuesday evening. We’ll be  broadcasting election results on KDEM-FM-94.3 and KOTS-AM-1230 as soon as they  are made available to us.
