At the fifth ward, first precinct, at Center Lake Pavilion, poll inspector Shirley Tatter said there were 23 voters out of 605 as of 8 a.m. “Turnout is poor and slow because of the rain and not many races,” Tatter said. In the fifth ward, second precinct, at Center Lake Pavilion, Josephine Durecki said there were 15 voters out of 580 as of 8 a.m. “Turnout is low. People are not responsible and they don’t vote,” Durecki said. In ward five, precinct three voting at Center Lake Pavilion, there were seven voters out of 576. Beth Premetz, poll inspector, said voting has been slow.
