Early and unofficial results recorded by the University of Florida’s Election Lab and secretary of state’s offices show Minnesota could take the No. 1 spot for voter turnout once again. Minnesota has held the No. 1 spot for voter turnout in every presidential election since 2008, according to data from the Minnesota Secretary of State’s Office.

So far, the Minnesota Secretary of State says early results put Minnesota at about 76 percent turnout. That number is higher than the 2016 presidential election, when 74.72 percent of Minnesota voters cast a ballot, but below the record set in 2020 when the state saw a nearly 80 percent (79.96 percent) turnout.

Simon said he's confident in the vote results. He also said Minnesota election turnout was lower than in 2020.

The Minnesota Secretary of State's office says early estimates indicate a turnout of around 76 percent for the 2024 election. That exceeds the 2016 turnout of 74.72 percent, but it falls short of the record-making voter turnout of 79.96 percent in 2020.

Initial numbers from across the United States indicate Minnesota could be the top state for voter turnout once again
