LUBBOCK, TX — The November 5 General Election is upon us. Here, we have compiled everything you need to know about election day and who is running in various races.
First, registered voters must bring an identification card, such as a driver's license or voter registration card, to the polling location. You can vote at any polling location in the county, but where your residence is located on the county precinct map determines what ballot you will receive. Don't worry—there are only four county precincts, so this should be fairly simple. You can find your precinct here.
Second, do your research. Here are the contested races you'll need to research before voting in ballot order. The candidates for local elections will only have contests for the precinct in which you reside. For example, if you live in Wolfforth, you will not see Shallowater ISD school board choices and vice versa. Uncontested races are not listed:
