A low voter turnout is expected for Tuesday's state constitutional amendment election.
That prediction is based on the voter turnout for the early voting, which ended Friday.
Of Victoria County's 51,289 registered voters, 675 voted early in person and 792 by mail.
George Matthews, county election administrator, said this year's low turnout may have been because of a lack of awareness.
"This election hasn't had high support or anyone working against any particular measure," Matthews said.
Matthews excepts about 2,000 people to vote Tuesday. He will continue to accept mail-in ballots received by Tuesday.
The 11 amendments topics include property rights, appraisal districts, eminent domain, veterans issues, and public access to beaches.
"The candidates are only once every four years, but these amendments will affect you for 20 years or more," Matthews said.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
