State elections officials say a record number of Pennsylvanians have registered to vote in Tuesday's primary: 8,328,123.
It's a record for a primary election, but it's not as high has the 2004 general election. There were more than 38,000 more voters in that race.
Since January, there are 152,775 new voters in the Democratic Party and 40,195 in the Republican Party. Those figures don't include voters switching parties. In the same period, 164,026 changed their registration to Democratic and 14,887 changed to Republican.
Republican Party officials have said this reflects interest in the hotly contested Democratic presidential primary. They'll work to get people to change their registration to Republican after the primary.
