Early voting for city and county begin

 

   Monday, April 24 was the first day of early voting for both the Maverick County $8.5 million bond election, and the City of Eagle Pass officials elections. 

   As of press time, the number of ballots submitted was 238.

   The separation of the election races centralized at two different locations could affect the race outcomes and participation.

    The average number of voters for city elections is about 20 percent of the total registered voters.  

  A review of the 2013 Mayoral election shows that 2,979, or only 20 percent of the qualified registered voters in the city limits, participated in the election process. Mayor Cantu easily won his re-election in 2013 with 2,102 votes. 

   The Maverick County Voter Registration list currently shows that approximately 15,000 of registered voters live within Eagle Pass City limits, making them eligible to vote in the mayoral race. The total amount of registered voters in the county stands at 30,000. 

    A large number of people are expected to vote in the county elections with some predicting up to 6,000 votes in this very important and heated local issue.  When considering the amount of signatures that the group of  concerned taxpayers were able to collect for the petition against the $8.5 million, and the the average 3,000 voters who partake in elections, voter turnout could be high.
