The Supervisor of Elections, Ion Sancho, says the county could see over 100-thousand voters turn out for the early election . "These absentee ballots are the absentee ballots requested by Leon Countians who are requesting them in town, out of town, from Alaska. We have at least one ballot here going to Hawaii."
