AUSTIN (KXAN) — We could be looking at record breaking numbers when it comes to early voting across central Texas.
In Travis County, for example, records show that more than 20% of the more than 925,000 registered voters have already cast their ballot in week one of in-person early voting.
While lines in the greater Austin area were a bit shorter Saturday, numbers show that people have already come out in droves to cast their ballot. Those numbers are only expected to increase with early voting running through Friday, Nov. 1.
