Friday is the last day to vote early in Texas on a handful of state constitutional amendments before Election Day on Tuesday, and so far turnout in Travis County is dismally low.

As of Wednesday, only 3.74% of the county’s more than 800,000 registered voters have turned out to the polls. Early voting started Oct. 21.

"We are not doing very well," Travis County Clerk Dana DeBeauvoir said Wednesday. "At this rate, we are going to be lucky to hit the statewide average of 13%."

Constitutional amendment elections always have low turnout compared to gubernatorial and presidential elections, when in Travis County more than 60% of voters typically turn out. But DeBeauvoir said this year’s turnout, contrary to what she initially believed, is shaping up to be lower than in the last constitutional amendment election in 2017, when 14% of registered voters cast ballots.

She said that could have something to do with voter confusion about what’s on the ballot, including a whopping three items styled as "Proposition A" in Travis County — all related to different issues. One is for the city of Austin to require elections to lease city-owned property for sports or entertainment venues. Another is for Travis County to get a share of hotel occupancy tax revenue to expand its East Austin expo center. The third is to create the Southwestern Travis County Groundwater Conservation District.

"Voters will tend to shy away if they are not completely comfortable," DeBeauvoir said. "Voters really don't ever want to feel anything other than fully competent and confident when they walk into a voting booth."

This week’s cold snap might also affect turnout, DeBeauvoir said. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for those looking to vote early, so bring a coat and either a driver’s license, election identification certificate, personal identification card, license to carry a handgun, U.S. Military identification card, passport or a U.S. citizenship certificate that contains a photograph.

Voters can check whether they are registered and also find polling locations online at votetravis.com. So far, the busiest polling sites have been the Randalls stores on U.S. 183 and Braker Lane in North Austin and on MoPac Boulevard (Loop 1) and William Cannon Drive in South Austin, but lines haven’t been long.

If you miss your chance to vote this week, the next opportunity will be on Tuesday, which is Election Day.

"We have plenty of room for people to turn out," DeBeauvoir said. "We could handle triple the turnout."

Here’s a reminder about what’s on the ballot for Travis County residents:

Proposition A (Austin): It would require elections for leasing any city-owned property used as a sports or entertainment venue. The petition-led ballot initiative would mean the city would have to hold elections each time its leases for venues like the Long Center come up for renewal and could make them subject to millions of dollars in property taxes.

Proposition A (Travis County): It would put Travis County next in line to receive a share of hotel occupancy tax revenue, totaling about $20 million a year, to expand the Travis County Exposition Center in East Austin.

Proposition B (Austin): It would require an election to spend more than $20 million to expand the Austin Convention Center and would ensure that no more than 34% of the city's hotel occupancy tax goes to the facility. Currently, about 70% of occupancy taxes go to the convention center.

Del Valle and Manor school district bond elections: The Del Valle school district is asking for approval for a $284 million bond package that would fund demolishing and rebuilding three campuses. The Manor school district is asking voters to approve a $280 million bond package for building two new schools and other facilities.

State constitutional amendments: Among the issues voters will be deciding on are measures that would make it harder to impose a state income tax, allow residents in disaster areas to be exempt from all or some of their property taxes for a given year, and divert sales tax revenue from sporting goods purchases to maintaining state parks and historic sites.
