Early voting for Nov. 3 election opens Oct. 19
Early voting begins Oct. 19 for the Nov. 3 general elections and continues through Oct. 30.
Texas voters will consider seven proposed constitutional amendments, while citizens in the Bowie and Gold-Burg Independent School Districts will consider the creation of a Bowie Hospital District.
Montague County Elections Administrator Brandi Shipman said voters can go to four early voting locations across the county. And thanks to countywide voting, you can cast a ballot in any of the four locations, not just your home precinct.
Those voting locations will include the Bowie Community Room, NoconaCommunity Room, Saint Jo Civic Center and the basement of the courthouse at Montague.
Voting will be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Shipman reminds all voters a photo identification is required. Read the full story in the weekend News.
