A total of 1,874 District 4 residents in Austin voted early in the ongoing special election to select Greg Casar's replacement on City Council.
The total reported by the Travis County Clerk's office represents 5.41% turnout among District 4's 34,655 registered voters. Early voting ran from Jan. 10-21, and Election Day is Jan. 25.
Turnout picked up during the second week of early voting, driven by increased daily vote totals in the final three days. Three polling places along the I-35 corridor were open during early voting along with a vote by mail option for eligible voters. The vast majority of early ballots were cast in person, while 129—6.88%—were mailed in as of Jan. 21. Vote totals are not yet final.
Seven polling places will operate from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day throughout District 4. More special election and voting information is available through the county clerk's website or by calling 512-238-8683.
