Diving in deeper
The percentage of total votes that came from early voting in 2024 eclipsed every year prior except for 2020, which had both more total early votes and saw early votes make up a larger share of total ballots cast, county and state data shows.
Voter turnout in terms of total ballots cast reached what is likely an all-time high for Brazoria County in the 2024 general election, according to data from the county. Official election results from Nov. 19 show Brazoria County had 162,766 total votes during the 2024 general election. The county this election cycle logged 251,627 registered voters in its results. Both numbers are the highest totals for Brazoria County dating back to at least 1988, according to data from the Texas Secretary of State’s website. However, this year’s turnout rate, or the percentage of registered voters who cast a ballot in the November election, was the third highest since 1988, data shows.
