HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Turnout in last week's election set records and will likely be one of the most-participated-in elections in a generation.

According to records from the Texas Secretary of State, almost 52% of all registered voters in Texas cast ballots in this midterm election.

That's a higher turnout than in the 2022 midterm, but turnout this year was lower than it was in 2018, when 53% of registered voters in Texas voted.
