You'll just have to handle your election business at your usual precincts instead of the early voting locations that were open until November 3.
Polls will be open from 7 AM-7 PM CST.
While this is a Houston centric election reminder post, I am keenly aware of the fact there are people running for office across the country in critical elections, including four trans candidates in Minneapolis, New York State and Virginia looking to make history tomorrow..
Our Lone Star State ones for governor, lieutenant governor, the Lege and other critical positions in our state government aren't happening until next year. It'll be 2019 for the city of Houston elections .
But we do have control of the HISD school board up in this election cycle with six seats up for grabs, two HCC boards seats , five Houston city propositions and several state constitutional amendments that require you to say YEA or NAY to.
Who are those endorsed candidates? Glad you asked.
Houston Community College Board of Trustees
HCC Trustee District IV - Carolyn Evans- Shabazz
HCC Trustee District IX- Pretta VanDible Stallworth
Houston Independent School District Board of Education
HISD Trustee District 1- Elizabeth Santos
HISD Trustee District III- Carlos Perrett
HISD Trustee District V- Kara DeRocha
HISD Trustee District VI- Holly Flynn Vilaseca
HISD Trustee District VIII- Anne Katherine Sung
And for the first time the Caucus has also come out with an official position on issues pertinent to our community.
City of Houston Propositions
FOR City of Houston Propositions A, B, C, D and E
If you're wondering how to vote on those Texas Constitutional Amendments, here's analysis from Daniel Williams, one of the smart people I pay attention to when he talks about Texas politics and the Texas Legislature.
So consider this a practice run for 2018 and 2020 and go handle your electoral business.
