A pre-election survey showed that two out of every three eligible voters would cast ballots in the county election. There are 390,000 eligible voters in the county. How many people are expected to vote in the election?

To find out how many people are expected to vote in the election, we can use the information given:

- Two out of every three eligible voters will vote.
- There are 390,000 eligible voters in the county.

We can set up the problem as a simple proportion:

\[
\text{Expected voters} = \frac{2}{3} \times 390,000
\]

Now, let's calculate this:

\[
\text{Expected voters} = \frac{2}{3} \times 390,000 = 260,000
\]

So, **260,000 people** are expected to vote in the election.
