Early Voting Begins in Texas General Election

Early voting for Texas 2014 General Elections began Monday and runs through October 31st. The General Election date is November 4th. Across Texas, voters will go to the polls to cast votes in one of the most influential primary elections in at least a generation. Every statewide office in the Texas executive branch is up for grabs. Many high-profile legislative and judicial seats are also at stake in this election.

Because of recent court rulings, there has been some confusion as to what kind of identification voters will need at the polls. For this election cycle, Texas’ new voter photo ID law remains in effect and voters will have to show one of the state approved photo identification cards in order to vote. For more information, please visit the Texas Secretary of State’s website.

There is also a statewide ballot initiative on the ballot for voter consideration regarding future funding of roads in Texas.

Additionally, many school boards and college boards are also on the ballot. Check the information below for your early voting locations and sample ballot information for your area.
