It's the 2018 Runoff: do you get to vote?

The votes in Travis County have been finally canvassed. And though there were several close calls on election night 2018, there emerged only five runoffs across Travis County. However, none of the races are county-wide, which means that not everyone living in the Austin area will have a race to decide on.

Early voting begins Thursday, Nov. 29, and ends Friday, Dec. 7. Runoff election day is Tuesday, Dec. 11. More information including voting sites, sample ballots, and even wait times may be found here.

Before you drive all the way to one of the voting centers to cast a ballot, check below to see if there's a runoff race in your precinct. If you don't know your precinct number, check your voter registration card (see image below for an example) or visit www.votetravis.com.
