AUSTIN, Texas – The Nov. 5 general election is just a few weeks away, and early voting kicks off in Texas on Monday, Oct. 21. In addition to voting for a presidential candidate, Texas voters will also cast their ballots in a U.S. Senate race, U.S. House races, Texas Legislature races and more. Meanwhile, Austin voters will weigh in on who should be mayor and, depending on where they live, who will represent them in the city council. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
