Poll workers throughout the Levittown area said it appeared Tuesday’s turnout was higher than in last November’s general election.

The presidential and congressional primaries played a factor in the turnout, election officials said.

In Tullytown, election officials said turnout at the polling place at Borough Hall on Main Street was “great.”

The story was similar in Bristol Borough, Bristol Township, Falls, Langhorne, Langhorne Manor, Hulmeville, Middletown and Penndel.

“It’s a little down from the last election at this point, but it isn’t too bad,” said the election judge, of Bristol’s East Ward.

Across Bristol, in the South Ward in the basement of St. Ann’s Church, turnout was up from November’s elections, officials said.

By 7 p.m., nearly half of all registered voters at Middletown Municipal Building had come to cast their ballot.

At Manor Elementary on Penn Valley Road in Falls Township, election officials were seeing numbers nearly doubling previous years’ turnouts. Democratic congressional candidate Steve Santasiero was campaigning outside the building, introducing himself to voters.

Veteran Joe Kelly of Bristol Township said he always get out to vote and hopes to see even more people in November.

“I’m not going to give up my vote. I always get out and vote,” Brenda Brown said after she voted at the new Mill Creek Elementary School in Bristol Township.

No major problems at the polling places were reported in the Levittown area.
