Voter Turnout Heavy in Manchester (NH)

MANCHESTER - Voter turnout was phenomenal across the city this morning, according to the city clerk, who predicts between 47,000 and 48,000 people will cast their ballots in the 2012 general election when the votes are finally tallied.

"That's good," City Clerk Matthew Normand said.

Ward 6 clerk Leo Veilleux said by 7 a.m., 742 people had cast ballots at the St. Pius CCD Center on Candia Road.

"They were halfway down the parking lot when we opened," he said. "It's almost six times the rate of a normal city election."
