Another important election draws near and early voting for the November 6th election day begins today(!) Monday, October 22nd.

Many Texans vote early. Texas enables residents to vote in the days and weeks before an election to make the voting process more convenient and accessible. There are two ways to vote early: by showing up in person during the prescribed early voting period or by voting by mail.

  

 

Vote early in person.

Who is eligible to vote early? What are the dates for voting early in person?

1)  Any registered voter may vote early by personal appearance (in person).

2)  Early voting by personal appearance for the November 6, 2016 Election begins on October 22, 2018 and ends on November 2, 2018. You may vote at any early voting location in your county of registration.

  • You are sick or disabled;

I called where I live and I will try tomorrow but I don't think it will be crowded there are less than 1000 people where I live.

I will be early voting (tried today, lines were too long!) Bob "RealMan" Timm as I don't want to take a chance of a delay while traveling and missing election day!

Good for you Sheri Sperry - MCNE® I don't trust the mail and will vote in person, so I am very grateful for the early voting opportunity at the polls here in Texas.

That is surprising that CT doesn't offer the option George Souto that must make for really long lines on election day.  I did try to vote today, but the lines were too long..I will try again later in the week.

We have a referendum about goign to Metro government so the numbers in early voting are big. I went the first day and the line was out the door.

Hi Lisa... not about voting (ours began last week)... but just wanted you to know you've been on my mind and I hope that you are not in the direct path of any flooding. The news does not sound good for Texas in terms of weather right now.

Good reminder for everyone, Lisa.  Those who don't take the time to vote are doing themselves and our country a huge disservice.

The heavy rain here today caused for a shorter line Debbie Reynolds and I was able to cast my ballot!

I agree Michael Jacobs but I did not want to take a chance of travel delays returning from my Boston trip and not getting back to Dallas in time to vote on the 6th.  I cast my ballot today!

That makes sense, Lisa.
