Election Lowdown

It wasn't the sexiest of elections, so turnout was low (6.37% in Travis County, 7.07% statewide, a rare instance of the state exceeding Travis). A variety of elections were held in the small communities in Travis County, in addition to the statewide constitutional amendment referendum and the Austin ISD Place 2 race. Below are some of the higher-profile results.
