With little time left for early voting, numbers are around half as much as prior general elections.
Early voting began on Oct. 28 and will continue until Nov. 4. After the Memorial Student Center, or MSC, was not selected as an early voting location, Texas A&M students will have to vote elsewhere. The closest location for students to vote early is at College Station City Hall. The official Election Day is Nov. 8.
