According to AJ Schiera, a member of the executive board of Penn Leads the Vote, at least 90 percent of registered undergraduates at four of the on-campus divisions had voted as of about 7 p.m. This was announced in Penn Leads the Vote War Room.

Those divisions are Houston Hall, Steinberg Dietrich, Harnwell College House and Harrison College House. At Houston Hall alone, 1,010 people had voted by 7 p.m, six of which were provisional ballots.

This number is about 25 percent higher than total turnout for the 2004 election at that station.

In a recent poll of Penn undergraduates conducted from Oct. 6 to Oct. 19 by CBS News/Chronicle of Higher Education/UWire/The Daily Pennsylvanian, 94 percent of the 839 respondents were registered to vote. 

According to Penn Leads the Vote, approximately 58 percent of undergraduates at Penn are registered to vote on and around campus.

Raw data for turnout on and around Penn from 2000 to the 2008 primary is available here.
