Today's the day to vote in the Democratic and Republican primary runoffs. You may have only a few races (or none at all) on your ballot, depending on where you live.

What's On Your Ballot?

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.

Here’s a rundown of where to go in Central Texas.

Travis County

Travis County has 126 Election Day voting locations, all of which will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

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.

Blanco County

Voters in Blanco County will have to vote at the polling place assigned to their specific 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. 

Find more information about voting in Caldwell County on its election website.

Hays County

The third-fastest growing county in the country has 15 precinct-specific polling places for both Republican and Democratic voters. All polling places will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

For more information and locations of the mobile polling sites, visit the Hays County Elections website.

Williamson County

Austin’s neighbor to the north, the 14th-fastest growing county in the country, will have 32 Election Day polling places. Voters can vote at any polling place in Williamson County from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

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 to find out where your county has polling locations.

So figure out what’s on your ballot, find your polling location and make your voice heard.
