Representatives from the Republican and Democratic parties of Canadian County are predicting winds of change will sweep through on Super Tuesday.

Dorothy Riley, Canadian County Election Board secretary, said if the increase in registered voters in the county is any indicator of Tuesday’s turnout, it should be something to see.

“We are preparing for a good turnout, that is for sure,” Riley said. “We have had a lot of new registered voters.”

As of Tuesday there were 58,738 registered voters in Canadian County. Of those registered, 1,148 have registered from Jan. 1 to 29, she said.

“As of Jan. 1 we had 31,550 registered Republican voters, with 679 new registrations since Jan. 1,” Riley said. “As of Jan. 1 we had 20,064 registered Democrats, with 377 new registrations since Jan. 1.”

Out of the 58,738 registered voters, 6,068 are registered as independent, Riley said.
