District 8 primary voter turnout

Here's a graph my partner made for a presentation we gave today about Tuesday's District 8 aldermanic primary voter turnout compared with turnout in past years' primaries, general aldermanic elections and presidential elections. Thanks, Paul!


Ideally, this would be scaled a bit more clearly, with percentages instead of raw vote counts and error bars and other statistical flourishes. Still, that's a discrepancy of about 6,500 votes between the general presidential election and the aldermanic primary election.

In a race where the district is 98% students and all the candidates are students, the fact that seven votes determined the runner-up is pathetic to say the least.

Can anyone help a sister out with the total number of registered District 8 voters this year/in past years?
