But you should still prepare yourself for the next election, because the May 7 local ballot is more than a decision about the fate of transportation networking apps and ridesharing regulations in the big city. What else is on the ballot, you ask? Well, that depends on where you live (for instance, if you're in Volente, transportation is an issue with a decision regarding whether to extend a tax to operate Cap Metro). And you may not even have a ballot for this election.
See below for every race appearing on ballots in Travis County. Have your voter registration card handy and be ready to find your precinct number (if you don't already know it by heart -- see below for a sample voter registration card or click here to find your precinct) and see which races affect you.
Early voting runs April 25 through May 3, with election day Saturday, May 7.
