Denton County Elections released early voting results just after polls closed at 7 p.m. Tuesday. More than 380,000 county residents — about 67% of all registered voters — voted early, according to the county, setting a new record for early voting in the county.
As of Friday, the county had received 27,772 mail-in ballots, which is more than usual but still a small percentage of the total number of votes cast. Mail-in ballots that were postmarked by Tuesday and received on Wednesday will count, and some overseas ballots can be counted if they arrive up to six days after Election Day. While the number of mail-in ballots received after Election Day is expected to be relatively small, it’s not impossible that they could impact a close local race.
Here’s how early voters in Denton County voted in the presidential and senate elections:
President/Vice President
- (R) Donald Trump/Mike Pence (i): 202,732
