Election Day taking place in Amarillo runoff after low early vote turnout
Early voting turnout for Amarillo's lone runoff election has fallen nearly 20% compared to last year, as voters prepare to decide a closely contested race for the Amarillo City Council Place 3 seat this Saturday. A total of 5,922 residents cast in-person ballots during the early voting period from May 27 to June 3, according to election officials in Potter and Randall counties. That's down from 7,351 voters during the 2023 runoff cycle. The June 7 runoff features incumbent Tom Scherlen and challenger David Prescott, who advanced after neither secured a majority in the May 3 general election. Scherlen led by just 315 votes, setting up a highly competitive rematch. Scherlen, a longtime Amarillo resident, worked 38 years at Austin Hose, rising from entry-level to CEO. Appointed to the council in 2023, he is also president of the Amarillo Senior Citizens Association and has prioritized public safety, fiscal responsibility, and infrastructure planning in his campaign. Prescott has lived in Amarillo since 1990 and is the founder of an environmental consulting firm operating in Texas and New Mexico. He holds multiple degrees from West Texas A&M University and currently chairs the Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists. Prescott's campaign focuses on transparency, community involvement, and oversight of city spending. Randall County accounted for the bulk of early voting activity with 3,912 ballots cast. The Randall County Annex led all vote centers with 1,870 voters, followed by the Southwest Branch Library with 1,725. Comanche Trail Church saw 306 voters, while RCEA logged only 11. The county's busiest voting day was Friday, May 30, with 728 ballots cast. The lowest turnout occurred Monday, June 2, with 530 voters.
