AUSTIN (KXAN) — With early voting underway, KXAN is keeping track of how many Texans have voted in the Nov. 7 constitutional amendment election.

Every voter who shows up to the polls in Texas will get to vote on 14 proposed amendments to the state constitution, from lowering property taxes to increasing the mandatory retirement age for state judges and justices.

In addition, several local cities, counties and school districts will appear on the ballot.

Early voting runs from Oct. 23 through Nov. 3. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 7.

Turnout is typically much lower in off-year elections than in presidential or midterm elections. For example, 67% of registered voters cast a ballot in the 2020 presidential election, compared to 46% in the 2022 gubernatorial election. A constitutional amendment election in November 2021 saw turnout of just 8.75%.

There are more than 17.7 million people registered to vote in Texas. After early voting, just over 1.25 million ballots have been cast, for a statewide turnout of 7.05%.

Harris County has reported the highest number of votes, with just under 240,000. The county’s turnout has been bolstered by a mayoral race in Houston. Four other counties have reported more than 60,000 votes: Travis, Bexar, Tarrant and Dallas.

Two counties have surpassed 20% turnout so far: Kinney County, west of San Antonio, and Llano County, northwest of Austin.

Turnout is slightly higher than the November 2021 constitutional amendment election. After early voting, turnout is at 7.05%, compared to 3.84% at the same time in 2021.
