Bastrop County votes

Voters showed up to polling booths across the county Nov. 7 to weigh in on 14 different propositions, most of which affect residents statewide.

Of the 57,360 registered voters in Bastrop County, 9,630 chose to exercise their given right to vote. This 16% voter turnout is around what most Texas counties saw for the special election, greater than the 4% of Lamb County, but not quite as high as Concho’s 48%, according to county election officials.

The vast majority of residents chose to vote in person, rather than by mail. The booths in Bastrop’s Ascension Catholic Church saw the most action, followed by Elgin’s Recreation Center and Smithville’s Recreation Center.
