476 voters representing 37.2% of the registered voters in Precinct 4430 (which includes Kessler Plaza) cast ballots in the Democratic primary. 74 voters representing 5.8% of the registered voters cast ballots in the Republican primary. For all of Dallas County, 298,612 voters (25.6%) of the registered votes cast ballots in the Democratic primary, while 92,636 voters (8.2%) cast ballots in the Republican primary.

The race drawing the most attention was the Presidential election. Precinct 4430 voters cast 330 votes (69.7%) for Hillary Clinton and 140 votes (29.5%) for Barack Obama in the Democratic primary. In the Republican primary, Precinct 4430 voters cast 37 votes (50.1%) for John McCain and 28 votes (38.4%) for Mike Huckabee.

Also of interest were the Precinct Conventions held as part of the Democratic primary. Texas Democrats allocate 126 delegates based on the primary election and 67 delegates based on the precinct conventions—or caucuses. Voters at the precinct level caucus and elect delegates to the County or Senatorial District Convention on March 29. Those conventions elect delegates to the state convention on June 6-7 where the 67 national delegates are ultimately determined.

In Precinct 4430, 172 voters participated in the precinct convention with 114 (66.2%) caucusing for Hillary Clinton and 58 (33.7%) caucusing for Barack Obama. Based on those results, Precinct 4430 allocated 12 of its 18 delegates to the Senatorial Convention to Hillary Clinton with 6 delegates allocated to Barack Obama. Delegates to the 23rd Senatorial Convention will caucus on March 29, 2008 at the Ellis Davis Field House at 9191 S. Polk St.
