In the race for the Dis-trict 2 City Commission seat, incumbent Commis-sioner Tudor Uhlhorn faces former Commis-sioner Frank Puente.
On the last day of early voting, city and school officials kept the polls open until 8 p.m. to help more voters cast early ballots.
“It’s steady,” City Secre-tary Amanda Elizondo said of the turnout. “But it’s less than the last (mayoral election).”
