Data compiled by the Indiana Election Division from official post-election reports filed by Indiana's 92 counties show 2,805,374 voters cast ballots for the Nov. 4 General Election. This total number of voters equates to a 68 percent turnout of all active voters in Indiana.

The newly released figures also reveal that 662,443 Indiana voters voted absentee, either in-person, via mail or by traveling board. A record setting 24 percent of ballots cast by Hoosier voters in November 2008 were cast absentee. This number far exceeds the previous record 262,550 absentee ballots cast for the 2004 General Election, when these absentee ballots made up only 10 percent of the total cast. Within that 24 percent of absentee ballots cast, the final tally of absentee-in-person ballots cast is 463,364 - a dramatic increase over the approximately 75,000 cast in 2006.

In Carroll County, there were 14,136 registered voters. Of that total 8,928 or 63% voted. Those voting in person numbered 7,487 and those voting absentee numbered 1,441 (16%).
