DEL RIO, Texas—Voters trickled into polling stations on election day for the Texas primary runoff in the south Texas border town of Del Rio on Tuesday.

Del Rio, which sits in Val Verde County has close to 29,000 registered voters, but turnout for the runoff is expected to be low, according to County Clerk Janie Ramon. The March primary attracted 14 percent of county voters and this runoff is expected to be lower.
