If you voted Tuesday, you were part of a crowd. Denton County voters cast 398,496 ballots in the midterm, the highest number in a midterm since at least 2018. That's 57.3% of the registered voters in the fast-growing county.

  • Registered voters: 695,512, about 86,900 more than four years ago
  • Ballots counted: in-person, mail-in and provisional
  • Versus 2022: 25.1% more ballots

Plenty of you waited for it. WFAA reported 45-minute waits in Denton and Collin counties as polls closed, and footage from the University of North Texas showed massive lines on campus filled with students waiting to vote.
