County clerk: Voter turnout exceeds 50 percent in Ellis County

More than half of registered voters in Ellis County turned out for Tuesday’s general election.

There were 10,265 ballots cast in Ellis County, a 57.41 percent voter turnout. An estimated 257 provisional ballots must still be counted, according to Ellis County Clerk Donna Maskus, but “not enough to make a difference in any local races,” she said.

Results are unofficial until canvassed Monday, Nov. 10, at 5 p.m. by the Ellis County Commission.

A previous story published Tuesday regarding turnout figures was incorrect. Hays Post apologizes for the error.
