Voter turnout wasn't great on Primary Day, despite seeing some high-profile contests that will have a huge impact on the future of communities across the Finger Lakes.

Elizabeth Yockel defeated Heidi Barend-Guerrie in the Democratic Primary for Ontario County Clerk.
Jan Regan defeated Steve Valentino in the Democratic Primary for Geneva Mayor.
