The details

During the early voting period from April 22-30, a total of 16,713 out of 430,813 registered voters cast ballots, according to Williamson County’s unofficial early voting summary.

The majority of those voters, 14,525, voted in person. Another 2,188 voters cast their ballot by mail, while 15 provisional ballots were also turned in.
