With 1 day of early voting remaining, 5761 voters have cast their ballots in Walton County, either by mail or at early voting. 52% of those voting are located north of the bay with 4613 being Republicans. Chautauqua is now the top voting precinct by percentage with 20.18%. Glendale is right behind at 20.17% and Pt. Washington is 3rd with 17.09% voting. The countywide percentage is 12.8%. We are already over 2,000 votes ahead of the 2014 totals which would indicate a better turnout if the weather does not interfere.
