After Monday’s count, the Ellis County Clerk’s office reported approximately 1,800 registered voters had already cast their ballots in the mid-term elections in person or by mail.

The chance to vote early ended noon Monday.

An Ellis County Clerk staff member said the number of early voters seemed a bit higher than in past elections but did not have the data available to say for certain.

Polls are open Tuesday until 7 p.m.
