Travis County votes cast, Nov 2026
289,406 ballots in Travis County through the first eight days of early voting (Oct 26), counting early votes and mail ballots returned. That is 1.5x the 2022 midterm at the same point and 90% of 2024. Voters from the March Democratic primary cast 47.8% of early votes; at this point in 2024, the same voters made up 41.0%.
Countywide, 30.6% of 945,505 registered voters (21.4% in 2022, 34.8% in 2024 at this point)
1.6x 2022 (countywide only)
Votes cast by day
Early votes in person and mail ballots returned, by date. 2022 and 2024 are lined up by days before Election Day, so each point compares the same stage of early voting (all three years started early voting on a Monday). Travis County's 2022 rosters aren't online, so the 2022 line is countywide only, from the Texas Secretary of State, and doesn't appear when a ZIP is selected. The newest day's mail count can be partial, since the county posts its list early the next morning. Hover or tap for each year's numbers.
In plain terms

Ballots cast at the same point: early vote + mail
Early votes in person plus mail ballots returned, through the first eight days of early voting in each year (the same number of days before Election Day).
Ballots by ZIP code
Hover or tap a ZIP for its numbers; tap again to filter the dashboard to it.
ZIP shapes are Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, trimmed to the county line, with major freeways and tollways for reference, so ZIPs that cross into Williamson, Hays, Bastrop or other counties show only their Travis part. Travis County's rosters list each voter's precinct but no address, so each precinct is placed in the ZIP where most of its voting addresses are; ZIP figures are close but not exact. ZIPs with few ballots can show extreme shading.
Party mix, same point in each election
Ballots split by which party's primary the voter took that March. "No primary" means they skipped it, not that they're independent. Both years use the March 2026 primary: Travis County's 2024 primary rosters aren't online, so the 2024 bars show how this year's Democratic and Republican primary voters (and everyone else) were voting at the same point in 2024. Head counts follow each primary's size: the 2026 Democratic primary in Travis County was nearly four times the size of the Republican one. Travis's 2022 rosters aren't online either, so 2022 is left out.
Who is voting
Each 2026 ballot matched by state voter ID to Travis County's Nov 2024 and Nov 2025 rosters. Bars compare early voters and mail voters.

Turnout against registration
Countywide early and mail ballots at the same point in each election, as a share of that year’s registered voters (Texas Secretary of State county tables). Registration grew 7% from 2022 to 2026, so raw ballot counts overstate the change in turnout by about that much. These three cards are countywide; the ZIP filter does not change them.
Who has shown up, by primary
Countywide, of the voters who took each party’s March primary, the share who had cast an early or mail ballot by this point. This is the cleaner enthusiasm measure: it does not depend on how big each primary was. In 2026 the Democratic primary was 3.8x the size of the Republican one, so Democratic head counts lead even where the two turn out at similar rates. Only 2026 is shown: Travis’s 2024 primary rosters are not online.
What past mixes produced
Countywide early and mail ballots at the same point in each election, by that year’s March primary, next to the county’s final result in the top race on the ballot (official canvass). Primary voters are a minority of every electorate and most “no primary” voters still lean one way, so the mix is a reference point against past results, not a forecast of this one. The 2024 mix is by the same voters’ 2026 primary, since the 2024 primary rosters are not online.
| Election | Ballots at this point | Dem primary | Rep primary | No primary | Final result, two-party |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 · Governor | — | — | — | — | O’Rourke 73.7, Abbott 26.3 |
| 2024 · President | 322,648 | 40.9% | 12.0% | 47.1% | Harris 70.0, Trump 30.0 |
| 2026 · so far | 289,406 | 47.7% | 11.6% | 40.8% | Not yet counted |
How this was built
Sources: Travis County's early-voting rosters for Oct 19 through Oct 26, 2026 (the first eight days of early voting) and its ballot-by-mail rosters through Oct 26, for the Nov 3 general, from the County Clerk's daily voter rosters on VoteTravis.gov. Every record carries a state voter ID and voting precinct. A voter on both lists counts once, as an early voter. The Oct 19 early-vote list is within 7 votes of the Texas Secretary of State's count for that day. The county's mail lists show about 14,100 ballots returned through Oct 26, more than the 6,060 in the state's report for that date, which may lag; the county's lists are used here.
Travis's rosters have no addresses. Each voter is placed in the ZIP code where most of their precinct's voting addresses are, using the county's voting-address file. Most precincts sit almost entirely in one ZIP, but about one in six has at least a tenth of its addresses in a second ZIP, so ZIP figures are close rather than exact. Twenty-one 2024 precincts no longer exist; each is placed in the ZIP where most of its voters live now. Countywide figures don't depend on this step.
Same-point comparisons line up each year by days before Election Day: early votes through the first eight days of early voting (Oct 26, 2026; Oct 28, 2024; Oct 31, 2022), plus mail ballots returned by that date. 2024 comes from the county's Nov 2024 early-voting, mail and Election Day rosters; its early-vote count matches the Texas Secretary of State's archive exactly, and its mail count is about 1% higher. Travis's 2022 rosters aren't online, so 2022 figures are countywide only, from the Secretary of State's early-voting archive. "Skipped 2024" means no record on any Nov 2024 roster, so it includes people who moved to Travis County since. Central Austin is the 13 ZIPs that sit mostly inside MoPac, US 183 and SH 71.
Party is primary participation, not registration: the March 2026 primary rosters (early, mail and Election Day). Texas has no party registration. Travis's 2024 primary rosters aren't online, so 2024 ballots are grouped by the same voters' 2026 primary: the party comparison follows the same people across both elections. Travis's rosters carry no birth years, so there is no age breakdown. Party colors follow each party's logo: Democratic blue and Republican red.
