The election saw about a 26 percent turnout. Leider said that about 40 to 50 ballots had been set aside Tuesday; those were from people who said they had registered at the DMV, but for some reason didn’t get registered. She said they will likely get them straightened out during the canvass after the election. The Alexandria elections office also received a few complaints about overly exuberant campaigners outside the polls, she noted.
