Local Early Voting starts this morning and continues through next Tuesday at polling places across Dallas County.
As usual Dallas County will be responsible for the elections for both members of city council and Dallas Independent School District Board of Trustees.
Mayor Eric Johnson is running unopposed despite the rumors he was pushing candidates against several incumbents.
Local Early Voting Starts, But Voters Disinterested
Low turnout numbers continue to plague Dallas elections.
In 1995, Ron Kirk was elected mayor for the City of Dallas with 23% of eligible voters casting ballots.
When Eric Johnson was elected mayor less than half that number turned out in the nine-person race.
To date, voters are barely trickling in and there has been no super issue pushing voters to participate.
