Low Primary Turnout in Alabama, New Jersey

Alabama and New Jersey held primaries (for office other than president) on June 3. The turnout in both states was very low. In Alabama, only 14% of the registered voters voted. The New Jersey percentage has not been calculated, but it clearly was unusually low. New Jersey Assemblyman Michael Doherty has just introduced a bill (no bill number assigned yet) to put the New Jersey presidential primary back in June, to be simultaneous with the primary for other offices.
