Early Voting in Tom Green County Hits 45% of Registered Voters as Final Day Wraps Up

SAN ANGELO, TX — Early voting in Tom Green County has seen record turnout, with nearly half of registered voters casting ballots before Election Day on Nov. 5.

According to Elections Administrator Vona Hudson, a total of 30,875 ballots had been submitted as of Friday, representing 45.5% of the county’s registered voters.

Daily counts indicate that 2,370 voters turned out on October 30, followed by 2,039 on October 31. By mid-morning on Friday, the final day of early voting, an additional 301 in-person votes had been counted, with numbers rising steadily. Hudson noted that the county’s early voting numbers are the highest she has seen in her tenure.

“It’s the highest percentage I ever remember having during early voting,” Hudson said, adding that similar high turnout has been reported across the state. Counties like Washington County have exceeded 50% of registered voters during early voting alone.
