AUSTIN (KAMR/KCIT) — Texas Secretary of State, Jane Nelson, announced that today, statewide in Texas, voters will weigh in on 14 proposed amendments to the state constitution. Many voters will also have the opportunity to vote in local elections.

“If voters did not cast a ballot during early voting, I encourage them to make a plan to vote today,” said Secretary Nelson.

According to the press release, Election Day voting hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at all polling places statewide. For specific questions regarding polling places, always consult your county elections office.

Election Day Voting Locations according to the TxSOS:

According to the TxSOS, If a county participates in the Countywide Polling Place Program, commonly referred to as vote centers, voters may cast a ballot at any location in their country on Election Day.

The TxSOS also stated that if a county does not have countywide polling, on election day, voters must cast their ballot at a location specific to their registration precinct.

TxSOS then said Texas voters planning to cast their ballot on Election Day can find their polling locations by using the My Voter Portal.

Voter ID Requirements according to the TxSOS:

According to the TxSOS, under Texas law, voters who possess one of the seven acceptable forms of photo ID must present that ID at the polls when voting in person. The acceptable forms of photo ID are:
