Voter turnout in Texas this year was essentially flat, possibly even below 2020’s in raw numbers, as so far the Texas Tribune reports 11.2 million voted, and in the end it may or may not edge out the 11,315,056 ballots cast from four years ago. What isn’t a close call however is the decrease in turnout as percentage of the registered voters, down 9.6 percent this year from 2020.
In 2020 there were 17 million registered voters in the state, increasing to 18.6 million this year, which works out to 57.1 percent turnout in 2024. Turnout was at 66.1 percent in 2020.
