"Las urnas abren de 7:00 am a 7:00 pm todos los días, por lo tanto, no hay excusa para que no salgan a votar", declaró uno de los candidatos.
"Lo único que podemos pensar es que hay apatía en la población votante, debido a los recientes casos de corrupción en el gobierno del condado, pero si este es el caso, esta eleccion es una razón más para que las voces de las personas sean escuchadas", dijo un oficial de la campaña cerca del proceso político en el Condado de Maverick.
A parte el gobierno estatal y federal se fijan en los numeros de participacion en el proceso para determinar que condados y que ciudades recibiran becas y asistencia financiera.
Hay tres carreras importantes en esta segunda vuelta electoral, como la del Comisionado Roberto Ruiz contra Guadalupe Cardona para el asiento del Comisionado del Precinto 4, para reemplazar a Cesar Flores.
Otra carrera clave sería la que existe entre Rosy Cantú y Martha Chacón por el asiento de Comisionado del Precinto 2 que estaba ocupada por Rudy Heredia anteriormente.
La tercera carrera que también ha recibido una gran cantidad de interés por parte de los votantes locales es la que existe entre incumbe Kina Mancha y Charlie Ruiz para Juez de Paz del Precinto 1.
