Large numbers of Texans turned out for early voting in the Lone Star state, in advance of the 2018 United States midterm elections, compared to recent years. The early voting period began on October 22, 2018 and ends today. Media reports indicate more Dallas County residents voted during the first week of polling, than all those who voted early in 2014. Although not as heavily populated as Dallas County, nearby Smith county has reported large turnouts for its 5 polling places open for the 2 week period.

In Dallas county, over 300,000 citizens had voted by the end of the first week of the period. That number represents nearly 25% of the number of registered voters for that county. Official election day is November 6th.
