What readers need to know

Election Day will take place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 4, according to the Texas Secretary of State’s website.

Both Brazoria and Galveston counties are state-approved countywide polling places, meaning voters who are residents within a county can cast ballots at any polling location within their respective county.


Locations in each county where voters can cast ballots are included on the following map:



What’s on the ballot

While some races are taking place across each county—and there are more than a dozen measures across the state—the cities of Pearland, Friendswood and Manvel do not have races on the local level. League City also has no races on the local level.


For school districts, Friendswood ISD has a $165 million bond package split up into four propositions. Voters living within the district’s boundaries can vote on the bond within their residential county.

Beyond local races, the state of Texas has 17 total amendments set to appear on the ballot, Community Impact previously reported, regarding items including:
  • Tax exemptions
  • Tightening bail rules
  • Funding for water supplies
  • An increase in the homestead exemption
