First, check to make sure you're registered by going here and putting in your information.

Registered?  Put your address into the tool below, pick the party primary you vote in and then see what's on your ballot.

Wondering what are some of the key runoffs up for grabs? Ben Philpott's got the rundown:

And now, the most important information you need to participate in our democracy: where to vote.

Bastrop County

Bastrop County will have 10 polling places on Election Day. Each will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Voters must vote at the polling location that's been assigned to their voting precinct.

Caldwell County

You’ve got a handful of polling places in the heart of Texas BBQ country on Election Day. Voters can vote only at precinct-specific locations that are split by party.

Times vary at the mobile locations, so be sure to check before you head out for when and where those sites will pop up.

Outside These Counties

Now you might be thinking: But I don’t live in one of those six counties, where do I vote?

If you live anywhere else in Texas, you can go to the Texas Secretary of State’s voting site tofind out where your county has polling locations.
