The Arlington, Barlett, Collierville, Germantown, Lakeland and Millington turnout in the early vote for the August 2 election, according to the Shelby County Election Commission reports is, at a glace, doubled that of the city of Memphis.
Generally speaking, the number of Republican voters in the municipalities outnumbered the Democrats with a slightly higher turnout from women.
The unofficial report of election turnout statistics by race, sex and party show that some municipalities are more diverse than others.
