5:13 PM: Mauro thinks voter turnout could exceed 20 percent

Voter turnout remains low, but Secretary of State Michael Mauro thinks the final numbers will exceed his 12 to 15 percent prediction. Mauro said 20 percent voter turnout could be a reality, but noted it is still too early to tell. The polls close at 9 p.m.

Today's primary marks the first for the new same-day voter registration policy. So far so good, said the Secretary of State's office.

"We have also have not heard of any problems with same day voter registration from anywhere around the state," a spokesperson in the SOS office said this afternoon.
