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—areas such as 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 the county in which they live.

Beyond local races, the state of Texas has 17 total amendments set to appear on the ballot, Community Impact previously reported.

Some of those, according to previous reporting, include:

• Tax exemptions
• Tightening bail rules
• Funding for water supplies
• An increase to the homestead exemption

Locally, other entities with races in Brazoria County include:

• Angleton ISD
• Hillcrest Village
• City of Freeport

• City of Galveston
• Dickinson ISD
• Galveston ISD
• Santa Fe ISD
• Hitchcock ISD

Election Day will take place on Nov. 4 following the early voting period. Election results will begin to be released later that night. However, results will not be final and will remain unofficial until canvassed by their respective governing entity.
