Hearty congratulations to the 10,793 voters who managed to vote in last week’s primary election. Those 10,793 voters represent approximately 17% of Davenport’s 64,361 registered voters. This means that less than 20% of Davenport’s population decided for us all which candidates will actually run for city government. |
