With three days of early voting remaining, Texas State’s campus polling location at the Performing Arts Center reported 455 new early voters and eight provisional ballots cast Oct. 27.
As of Oct. 27, a total of 5,606 voters cast ballots at the PAC since early voting began Oct. 13. Additionally, 211 provisional ballots have been cast on campus.
Provisional ballots are ballots cast when a voter’s eligibility is in question, such as when a voter has an incorrect address due to moving near the voter registration deadline. If these ballots are later considered ineligible, they will not be counted.
Hays County, after recently surpassing its total 2016 voter turnout, reported 3,493 new in-person voters and 92 new mail-in ballots, totaling 82,535 early voters since Oct. 13.
