Early voting numbers remain low
Tuesday, May 2, 2023 by Elizabeth Pagano
Today is the last day of early voting, which has continued at an abysmal clip. As of Monday night, 4.8 percent of Travis County voters (or 36,148 people) have cast their ballots in the election that features two propositions aimed at police oversight. The polls will remain open today until 7 p.m., and will reopen on Saturday, May 6 (election day proper), from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Anyone confused about the choices before them in this contest can head over to our Voter Resource, which breaks down the propositions and offers tips on heading to the polls.
