Updated, 3:45 p.m. Oct. 28: to include the early voting totals from Saturday, the sixth day.

More Dallas County residents cast ballots through the first five days of early voting this year than during the entire early voting period in 2014, the last midterm election.

The high turnout in the county continued Saturday, with 33,742 people voting in person, about 3,000 more than the total from the sixth day of early voting for the 2016 presidential election.

As of Saturday, 307,342 in-person and mail-in ballots had been cast in Dallas County — more than 23 percent of the county's 1.3 million registered voters, according to the Texas secretary of state.

Through six days of the 12-day early voting period in 2014, 102,549 total ballots had been cast in Dallas.

In the 30 counties with the most registered voters in the state, 2,511,150 Texans have cast ballots in person and 301,702 have mailed in ballots, according to the secretary of state's office.

Turnout started strong last Monday and Tuesday, with the number of ballots topping the amount from 2016, a presidential election year. The number of voters started to slow down as the week progressed, with totals surpassing 2014 but falling short of 2016 before rebounding Friday and Saturday.
