Custer County 2022 Primary Election Official Results—37% Voter Turnout

CUSTER COUNTY—The canvassing board has completed the official tally of Custer County’s ballot numbers and has released the official results for the 2022 Primary Election. Out of 7,779 registered voters 2,885 ballots were cast (either on Election Day or by early voting). Custer County saw a 37% voter turnout in 2022 compared to 41% in 2020 and 22% in 2018.

Statewide voter turnout was 33.29%.

On the local level, Elise Taylor took the lead against incumbent Lana Lymber for County Assessor. KCNI/KBBN was at the Custer County Courthouse on Tuesday, May 10 and spoke with Elise Taylor.

“I’m super excited. You know, I’ve been in the office for three and a half years and I am super excited about this change. You know I’m ready for good things for Custer County and I’m so excited I can’t wait!” Taylor told KCNI/KBBN.

She said she hopes to focus on equalizing Custer County values and appreciates the support she has received during the campaign. Elise Taylor will take office in January 2023 as no Democrat is running for County Assessor.

“Equalizing Custer County is my biggest thing. You know, I pay taxes just like everybody else and so I sure as heck don’t’ want my values being wrong and I don’t want to be assessed for something that’s not mine or incorrect,” Taylor continued. “My goodness I could not do it without so many great people in this county. You know I have friends up in Sargent who have been helping me out big time and every little community. My fellow rural people, God has truly blessed me with some amazing, amazing people in my life,” Taylor said.
