Early voting began Monday in Texas and more than 2.8 million Texans voted during the first three days. A record-setting number, but a slightly lower voter turnout than in the 2020 elections when accounting for the 1.7 million new registered voters.

Per a Texas Tribune analysis, 15.1% of registered voters have cast their ballots so far compared to 15.7% in 2020. In total, the state has a record-breaking 18.6 million registered voters.
