dc.description	In the 2016 presidential election, Texas’ voter turnout placed near the bottom of all the states, ranking 47th. In Texas’ recent 2018 mid-term election, which featured a closely contested US Senate race and concurrent gubernatorial election, not even half of eligible voters (46.3%) participated. This issue of The Takeaway explores Texas’ consistently low voter turnout and some policies that could help increase it. The author is a Bush School student whose work was supported by a research fellowship from The Texas Lyceum.	en
