It was a record-setter for voter turnout last week in DeWitt County.

DeWitt County Clerk Dana Smith tells Regional Radio News early voting was as popular as an option as it's ever been but most people still went to the polls on election day.

According to Smith, DeWitt County purchased new voting machines a few years ago that have streamlined their results tabulations and she indicates this is why there should not be any concerns the public may have about if their ballots were correctly counted.

According to Smith, the driver of this year's record turnout was likely the interest in wind farms at the County Board level and the presidential election. 

DeWitt County's election will result in four new County Board members being sworn in in December.
