COLLIN COUNTY'S VOTER TURNOUT DOUBLED AND IT NEEDS MORE POLLING PLACES

Collin County's voter turnout in the recent constitutional amendment election was double the county's turnout during the last off-year election.

Election Administrator Bruce Sherbet said at Monday’s commissioners’ court meeting that about 14% of the county's registered voters participated in the recent constitutional amendment election. That's twice the amount of voters that hit the polls in the last off-year election — and triple the turnout from the 2017 election.

Sherbet said several voters cast their ballots in person on Election Day.

“Election Day was very heavy, it seemed like, especially after five,” he said.
