The turnout is reportedly strong for the first few days of early voting in Rhode Island.
The Secretary of State's online tracker showed a total of nearly 8 thousand votes being cast.
That includes mail in and early voting.
The number represents about 1 percent of the total electorate in the state.
Early voting ends September 8th, on the eve of Primary Day, September 9th.
