Madison County has 58% voter turnout for 2026 general election

MADISON — A total of 12,330 ballots were cast in Madison County in Nebraska’s 2026 general election. That number equates to 58.2% of registered voters in the county, which nearly aligned with the Nebraska Secretary of State Office’s report of 59% voter turnout across the state. Anne Pruss, Madison County clerk and election commissioner, had initially anticipated a turnout in the county of roughly 45%-47%. This year’s general election voter turnout also topped Madison County’s 54.3% turnout in the 2022 midterms. “I am ecstatic on this because people did get out to vote,” Pruss said. “And it goes to show for voters that if you do not like what people are doing for you, the only way you can resolve this is by voting or expressing your concerns.” More than 9,400 Madison County residents voted on Election Day. The clerk’s office had sent out around 2,900 mail-in ballots, and 2,863 were returned.
