Election Day information from the League of Women Voters
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, per the Constitution of the United States. Bandera County has 10 precincts with a voting location in each precinct. Consult the individual Voter Registration Card (orange) to determine the number of the voting precinct. Use the Bandera County Election Department website to find the voting location for a precinct: https://www.banderacounty.org/departments/ElectionAdministrator.htm or use the website provided by the State of Texas to check: www.VoteTexas.gov. Election Day voting hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
A frequently asked question this year - what to do if a mail in ballot was requested/received and a voter now wants to vote in person? Take the Mail in Ballot to the precinct voting location, turn it in to the election official, and the voter will be given a ballot to vote and scan.
The League of Women Voters of the Hill Country Texas urges all voters to take time to find information on candidates for office. Printed League Voter Guides are available at libraries. The same Voter Guide is available on the website for LWV Hill Country Texas: lwvhillcountrytexas.org. The guide lists the Presidential candidates, Texas candidates for statewide offices, and Texas State Board of Education Region 1 candidates with candidate answers in their own words to specific questions for each office.
Local election voter guides for the following offices are also available on the LWV Hill Country Texas website: Mayor for City of Bandera and Bandera City Council (two members). Click on the county tab on the left side of the website home page: lwvhillcountrytexas.org.
VOTE411.org provides another option to be an informed voter. This website is an online database for voters to read about candidates who have filed for an office in local, state, and national elections. VOTE411.org includes the elections that have at least two or more candidates on the ballot for an office. All responses to questions come directly from the candidates and are not edited by the League. The website VOTE411.org is sponsored by LWV Hill Country Texas. A voter enters the address on their voter registration card to access a list of elections on their ballot.
League of Women Voters of the Hill Country Texas has 40 years of work focused on registering citizens to vote, educating citizens on candidates and issues, and encouraging citizens to vote. The League is a nonpartisan and nonprofit organization and does not endorse or oppose candidates for elected office.
