Woodbury County Auditor Pat Gill traditionally has two benchmarks to gauge voter turnout — he has the polling places call in totals at 11 a.m. and then 4 p.m. Gill just got the latter time results, and said voter turnout is tracking at less than 10 percent. He said typically half the voters have been cast by 4 p.m., so with 3,980 votes cast at this point, it will be hard to get beyond 8,000. There are currently 43,876 active registered voters in Sioux City.

Voters are picking among five men for three Sioux City Council positions: incumbent Jim Rixner, Keith Radig, John Fitch, and the two men who essentially tied in topping  fundraising, Ian Rappolt ($7,667) and Tom Padgett ($7,665).
