The last day for early voting in Taylor County elections is Tuesday. Here's what to know about this election.

Election Day is Saturday for Taylor County city and school elections.

Mail-in ballots can be received until May 10, however, since military and overseas voters have an additional six days to get their ballots to the office to vote, according to Ragan.

Early voting opened April 22. So far, only 846 votes have been cast in this year's early voting for the elections. The 2022 elections had more than double that number of votes at this point in early voting.

At the close of the Super Tuesday elections, there were 85,972 registered voters within Taylor County.

Since then, Freda Ragan Elections Administrator for Taylor County said the county has 87,388 registered voters.
