Polls close in 90 minutes for the HD124 special election. Fewer than 1,000 people voted early in person last week, putting this race on a course for record-low turnout, at least since the early 1990s. A runoff is expected.
We do not expect too many updates tonight. We will send out early voting totals when those are available, then at least one other update later in the evening. If you’re on Twitter, follow us @TXElects for additional live reports and analysis.
