Voter turnout remains high in Travis County
Friday, October 26, 2018 by Elizabeth Pagano
As of Thursday night, 18.92 percent of Travis County’s registered voters had cast ballots for the November election. Thursday’s voting continued the trend of strong voter turnout, with another 33,519 ballots cast, representing 4.27 percent of the county’s voters. The busiest location was the University of Texas’ Flawn Academic Center, where 1,611 people voted. Even the least popular site Thursday saw numbers in the triple digits, though – 225 people cast ballots at Del Valle Independent School District’s Administration Building. Early voting for the Nov. 6 election will continue through Nov. 2.
