AUSTIN (KXAN) — More than a week after Election Day, all Travis County ballots have been unofficially tallied, after a new round of results was posted Wednesday . It’s still not enough for KXAN to call the Austin mayoral race — which means it will come down to Williamson County voters.
Williamson County is expected to do its canvass around Nov. 15, according to the clerk’s office, and the deadline set by the Texas Secretary of State to post finalized results is Nov. 19.
There are 3,737 outstanding provisional ballots in Williamson County, according to the clerk’s office, but the majority of those will be in parts of the county outside of Austin city limits. In the unofficial results, only 5.3% of ballots cast in Williamson County were in Austin.
Travis County posted 905 new ballots Wednesday evening, those are the last of the unofficial results to be reported, according to the Travis County Clerk’s Office. Of those, 355 people voted in the Austin mayoral race. With those new ballots, Watson is still sitting at 50.01% of the vote putting him at 175,071 total votes — 21 votes above the runoff threshold, based on the current vote total.
