The underwhelming totals are in for the first day of early voting in the Dec. 14 runoff election. They are, as expected, underwhelming, with 0.4 percent of registered Travis County voters. A total of 2,256 early and mail-in votes have been cast in the election so far, which will determine the City Council representative for District 7 as well as an at-large position on the Austin Independent School District Board of Trustees. Early voting runs through Dec. 10. More information about polling times and locations can be found here.
