The voter turnout may have been low, but local ballots were decided.
Election managers say voter turnout was just over eight percent. Voters narrowed the field for school board. Josh Ingersoll ended-up as the only one of the seven candidates not to advance to the April election.
In Menomonie, incumbent school board member David Styer, who is the board’s president, failed to advance from the primary. 
Voter turnout across western Wisconsin was nearly as low as it was in Eau Claire.
On the bigger tickets, it will be Cavalier Johnson and Bob Donovan come April. Voters in Milwaukee narrowed the crowded field for mayor down to two candidates yesterday. Johnson cruised to victory with 42 percent of the vote. Donovan got 22 percent. That was good enough to beat out the five other candidates who wanted to replace former mayor Tom Barrett.
Johnson and Donovan will run against each other in the April 5th election.
