BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Despite two "No Kings" protests this year against the policies of the Trump Administration, Republicans still have 10,000 more registered voters than Democrats as Bucks County residents head to the polls for Tuesday's general election.

The number of registered voters has held steady, remaining relatively unchanged for six months, according to the most recent figures provided by the Bucks County Board of Elections.

With less than a week before the Nov. 4 general election, statistics show total voter registration at 479,421 residents as of July 25. Bucks County has 54 municipalities and 304 voting districts.

The change in voter registration figures is minimal when reported last March.

At that time, Republicans had 202,518 registered voters, Democrats 192,468, and others at 84,386, the Bucks County Board of Elections stated.

In last year's general election, Bucks County elected Donald Trump, the first time a Republican won the county since the Bush-Dukakis race in 1988. That election also marked the second-highest turnout in Bucks County election history.

Trump won Bucks County, getting 196,654 votes to 195,370 votes for Harris, according to results from the Bucks County Board of Elections.

Residents will go to the polls on Tuesday to cast their votes for Bucks County seats, municipal and school board races.
