AUSTIN (Talk1370.com) -- Early voting is now underway for the March 1 primary elections across the state of Texas.
Early voting runs from Feb. 14 through Feb. 25, with polls closed on Monday, Feb. 21, due to the President's Day holiday.
Texas runs an open primary, which means you can choose to vote in either the Republican or Democratic primaries - but not both. Your choice in the primary won't limit your ability to cast your ballot in November - but if a runoff election is necessary in a race, you won't be able to cross party lines.
For Travis County voters, here's a link to the Republican primary sample ballot and the Democratic primary sample ballot. Early voting locations in Travis County will be open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon until 6 p.m. on Saturday. Polling places, wait times, and more can be found at VoteTravis.com.
