Friday marks final day for early voting amid 'slow' turnout

Just 4% of Hays County registered voters have cast their ballots during early voting with Friday as the last day to head to the polls before election day. 

According to the secretary of state’s office, 6,247 Hays County residents voted in the Nov. 2 election — 4% of 156,297 registered voters — as of Wednesday.

“Turnout is slow so far,” Hays County Elections Administrator Jennifer Anderson said. “We have just over 4 % turnout so far … We range anywhere between 5.5% and 13% in past Constitutional Amendment Elections.”
