Though most eyes were on the contested Democratic presidential primary Tuesday, Republican voters in Idaho did not sit out of their primary, doubling President Donald Trump's 2016 vote total.

Trump gained 111,511 votes in Idaho (almost 95% of the total), up from the 62,413 he received in 2016.

Republican turnout overall, though, was about half of what it was four years ago, when there was a hotly contested primary; 222,004 Republicans voted in the 2016 primary, compared to roughly 118,041 Tuesday.

Democrats switched from a caucus to a primary system this year, and turnout quadrupled from under 24,000 in the 2016 caucus to the roughly 108,000 in this year's primary.

Statewide, 221,553 people voted in Tuesday's election, which also include school district measures and a Constitution Party primary, which picked up 866 votes.

The Secretary of State's Office could not provide final voter turnout rates Wednesday. Two counties, Payette and Elmore, did not have any election results reported, according to unofficial results.

Voter turnout was 28.7% in Canyon County and 26.5% in Ada County, according to preliminary results from the counties.

The Democratic and Constitution primary elections were open to unaffiliated voters, while the Republic primary was only open to registered Republicans.

Idaho's overall population growth should be taken into account when comparing voting totals from four years ago. The Gem State, among the nation's fastest growing, has grown by about 12.5% in the past four years, from 1.6 million in 2016 to nearly 1.8 million today.
