Kaukauna voter turnout more than 60 percent

KAUKAUNA — Kaukauna matched the rest of the state in both voter turnout and candidate preferences, according to preliminary numbers from Kaukauna City Clerk Susan Duda.

Duda reported 8,415 registered voters in the city, with 5,130 of them casting a ballot on April 5, 2016, or 61 percent.

A tight mayoral race and high interest in the presidential primaries likely boosted the turnout. Some on social media noted lines at the Kaukauna Municipal Services building.

Voters also mirrored the Wisconsin vote when it came to statewide races.

In the Republican presidential primary, Ted Cruz, with 1,237 votes, outpolled Donald Trump with 969 and John Kasich with 250.

In the Democratic primary, voters chose Bernie Sanders at 1,371 over Hillary Clinton at 1,154.

More voted for Democrats, 2,561, than Republicans, 2,534.

For state Supreme Court, voters chose Rebecca Bradley over JoAnne Kloppenbug by a vote of 2,505 to 2,140.

Below is a spreadsheet by aldermanic district. Note the school board numbers are incomplete, because parts of the school district lie outside of the city of Kaukauna.
