Update: On Nov. 12, the Secretary of State's website updated general election information for Oconee County.  The revised numbers show 17,889 or 80 percent of Oconee's registered voters cast ballots. The chart has been updated with the revised numbers.

In 2008, 17,208 voters in Oconee County cast ballots, or about 84.4 percent of the 20, 397 registered voters in the county at that time. Four years ago, 12,120 votes, 70.57 percent, were cast for the Republican nominee, John McCain and 4, 825 or 28.09 percent for President Barack Obama.

It comes as no surprise then that Oconee County heavily favored Romney in his bid for presidency nearly 3 to 1 (see details below).

Most of the local races in the General Election were unopposed, as they were decided in the July 31st primary.

In early and advanced voting, which ended Friday, about 45 percent of the county's 22,407 active voters cast ballots, according to Oconee County Observations.  When Tuesday's votes were added to the mix, turnout totaled 80 percent.  This is down from 2008, when turnout was nearly 84.4 percent in Oconee County.
