The unofficial totals for the first week of early voting for the Travis County Joint General and Special Election on May 5 are in, and the numbers continue to underwhelm. As of press time Sunday, the unofficial tally showed a total of 3,968 voters, 505 of whom voted at mobile voting locations. There were also 969 mail ballots received. In all, 3.11 percent of registered voters have cast ballots so far. The last day of early voting is Tuesday, May 1. The County Clerk’s Office has sample ballots here, which cover these local races in Cedar Park, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Briarcliff, Lake Travis Independent School District and several municipal utility districts.
