What to know if you're voting
Here is what you need to know if you're voting.

Tuesday is Election Day and polls will be open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.



Curbside voting is new this year.



The Texas Secretary of State says you can curbside vote if you're physically unable to enter the polling place without help or there's a likelihood of injury to the voter's health. If you qualify, a presiding election judge or election clerk will give you the voting device at the curb.



Curbside voters must also be given the same privacy as voters in the polling place.



If you want some guidance before casting your ballot, the Houston League of Women Voters guide provides non-partisan information.
