Montgomery County’s preliminary turnout for the Nov. 3 midterm election was 62.49%, below its turnout in the previous two midterms, while neighboring Narberth reported one of the county’s highest participation rates.
The county’s unofficial election summary, dated Nov. 4 at 2:07 p.m., records 392,630 ballots cast out of 628,331 registered voters. That total includes 285,083 Election Day ballots and 107,547 mail ballots; the provisional column was still zero in that report.
These are preliminary figures. The county cautions that its precinct-reporting indicator covers in-person voting, and that additional ballots can require review after Election Day. A report showing all 428 precincts reporting does not mean every eligible ballot has been counted.
A decline from recent midterms
According to Patch’s Nov. 4 turnout report, Montgomery County recorded 68.4% turnout in 2022 and 67.5% in 2018. The 2026 preliminary rate is 5.91 percentage points below 2022 and 5.01 points below 2018.
Patch reported roughly 23,000 fewer voters than in 2022 despite an increase of about 21,000 registered voters, and described this as the county’s lowest midterm turnout since 2014.
Narberth among the highest
Narberth’s turnout was about 71%, according to the same report, behind Bryn Athyn’s 73%. Franconia and Jenkintown each reached about 69%. Those municipal figures are rounded and should not be treated as final certified rates.
Readers can follow subsequent counts through Montgomery County Voter Services. The office publishes the results dashboard, summary report and explanations of mail, provisional, military and overseas ballot reporting.
