Williamson County Early Voting Tops 209,000 as the Final Day Arrives: 44 Percent of Registered Voters Have Already Cast Ballots

Williamson County is voting like it means it. With one day of early voting left, more than 209,000 county voters had already cast ballots in the November 3 joint general and special election, according to unofficial figures from Wilco Elections through Thursday, October 29. The total - 209,289 - equals 44.38 percent of the county's 471,602 registered voters, and it is built mostly in person: 200,365 early in-person voters, alongside 831 limited ballots, 669 provisional ballots and 7,424 mail ballots received.

Thursday kept the late pace up. The county recorded 17,139 voters on the second-to-last day - 16,715 of them in person - up from Wednesday's 15,880 and nearly level with Monday's 17,184, the highest single day of the final week. The period's biggest day remains its first: Monday, October 19 drew 29,006 voters, 6.15 percent of the entire roll in a single day, before turnout settled into the high teens and low twenties of thousands and dipped on the weekend.

Geography tells its own story. The Wilco Jester Annex in Round Rock was Thursday's busiest location with 1,770 in-person voters - about a tenth of the county's in-person day - and it leads every site over the full 11 days with 20,511. Thursday's next busiest were Hutto City Hall with 1,223, the Leander Senior Activity Center with 1,213, the Brushy Creek Community Center with 1,203 and the Cedar Park Recreation Center with 1,132 - a map of the county's growth corridor, voting at scale.

Friday, October 30 is the last day of early voting in Williamson County, as across Texas; anyone who misses it votes on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3. The figures are unofficial and may change as the county finalizes its counts - but at 44 percent already in, Williamson's suburbs have made themselves one of the loudest early voices in the state's midterm.
