Combined with the 22,836 ballots cast during the early voting period, a total of 34,430 votes — 35.18% of Alexandria's 97,875 active registered voters — had been counted at the halfway point of a 13-hour voting day.
That figure is up from 30,657 — 31.32% — reported by the city at 10 a.m., meaning roughly 3,773 additional voters cast ballots in the two hours between updates.
