District C is Houston's highest-turnout district. Why have so few voted in an ongoing council race?
Few voters have cast ballots in an ongoing Houston City Council special election despite the area consistently recording the highest turnout of the city’s 11 districts in past elections.
As of Sunday night, only 4,733 people had voted for a new District C council representative. Early voting ends Tuesday ahead of Election Day on Saturday.
The district – which includes Meyerland, Montrose, the Heights and Oak Forest – has been Houston’s highest-turnout district in each of the last five November elections, and topped 37,000 ballots in each of the last three.
