Some 7,512 or 5.23% of Comal County’s 143,696 registered voters showed up at the polls Monday, the first day of early voting in the Nov. 5 general election.
According to unofficial results on the Texas Secretary of State’s website, 2,133 mail-in ballots have been received.
County Public Information Officer Cary Zayas said 426 mail-in ballots arrived yesterday.
A total of 9,645 or 6.71% of Comal residents voted as of Monday.
According to the League of Women Voters of the Comal Area (LWVCA), long lines were reported at many polling locations, with 1,251 voters showing up at the Mammen Family Public Library in Bulverde.
The Texas Comptroller’s Office said it has no record of the Texas Elections Coalition, which posted large warning signs at all Comal County vote centers, falsely warning immigrants they could be voting illegally.
