Austin voters will decide the fate of Proposition Q, a controversial city-backed plan to raise more than $100 million in property tax revenue to pay for homeless services and other city projects.
Nearly 13% of voters cast an early ballot in the off-year election, which typically draws in just a sliver of the electorate in Austin.
Supporters of the measure say the tax rate increase is necessary to shore up a budget shortfall at City Hall. Opponents say the increase isn’t necessary to maintain city services and that the measure would make Austin less affordable.
In a 7:33 p.m. post on social media, the Travis County Clerk’s Office said early voting numbers would not be released until Election Day voting locations are closed. As long as voters made it in line by 7 p.m., they would be allowed to vote.
This is a developing story. The results below will be updated after polls close.
