Early Voting Underway

Early voting in the mid-term elections began at 8 a.m. Monday, Oct. 22 and continues through 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5. Hours that polls are open vary according to location and day, unlike Election Day, when all polls will be open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Voters can cast their ballots at any of the voting locations throughout the city during both early voting and on Election Day.
To vote in the 2018 mid-terms, Texas voters must bring one of the following to the polling place:
• Texas driver’s license (issued by Texas Department of Public Safety)
• Texas Election Identification card (DPS)
• Texas handgun permit (DPS)
• Texas personal identification issue (DPS)
• U.S. military identification card containing photograph
• U.S. citizenship certificate containing photograph
• U.S. passport
Key races this year include 30 candidates running for Corpus Christi mayor and the eight seats on the council; yet another election for Congressional District 27 (this will be the third); and a hotly contested race to replace retiring Nueces County Judge Loyd Neal. Democrat Barbara Canales, a member of the Port of Corpus Christi board of commissioners, and Mike Pusley, former county commissioner, are both vying for that position.
Bond elections on the ballot include a $210 million Corpus Christi Independent School District bond for new school buildings as well as for land for future schools; and $12 million for the West Oso ISD for school buildings.
The city of Corpus Christi has five propositions on the ballot for everything from roads and infrastructure to improvements on senior centers, parks, pools, libraries, and museums. The total is around $95 million.
