About 440,000 voters will have the opportunity to cast ballots in the 8th District Democratic primary. And even though that June 10 race, not the general election, is likely to determine who succeeds Jim Moran in Congress – possibly for a generation – turnout is not expected to be heavy. Arlington Registrar Linda Lindberg said absentee voting for the seven-candidate race has been running at less than 40 percent of the pace of the April 8 County Board special election, and at about the same rate as the 2012 congressional primary that pitted insurgent challenger Bruce Shuttleworth against Moran. “My best guess is we’ll likely end up with a little higher turnout than 2012,” Lindberg told the Sun Gazette on May 29. “That one had a 7-percent overall turnout, while we’ll probably be somewhere around 12 percent, maybe higher.” The number of registered voters changes, but in the most current statistics posted on the State Board of Elections site, there were 436,536 active voters in the district. Arlington comprises 32 percent of the total, the city of Alexandria 19 percent and the city of Falls Church 2 percent. The remainder is in the portions of Fairfax County that fall within the district.
