Election Turnout

Courtesy of the city clerk's office, here's the turnout for the last 4 city elections:

Mayor & City Council election 2007 - 3,940
City Council election 2005 - 1,739
Mayor & City Council election 2003 - 3,640
City Council election 2001 - 2,809

I was expecting about an 1800 turnout for this election and was asked at one of the forums why I was so optimistic. One of the candidates commented that, based on people's awareness of the election when they were knocking on doors, they expected a 1400 to 1600 person turnout.
