Early voting remains slow
Tuesday, December 9, 2014 by Mark Richardson
Early voting for the Dec. 11 Council runoff election posted 3,146 ballots Monday, just 0.57 percent of registered voters. That brings early voting totals to 30,207, or 5.47 percent of registered voters. Top vote-getting sites continue to be the Randalls at Braker and Research, the Randalls at William Cannon and MoPac and the Ben Hur Shrine Temple. Low turnout sites include the County Tax Office in Pflugerville and the Parque Zaragosa Recreation Center. A mobile voter van will be stationed at Austin City Hall and the Travis County Courthouse for the rest of the week. Early voting continues through Friday. For more information, go to the Travis County Elections page.
