Edinburg, Texas – Hidalgo County Elections Administrator Yvonne Ramón encourages voters to know your ballot before you head to the polls to vote in the November 2, 2021 Constitutional Amendment Election and Local Entities Elections.
The Elections Department website offers tools to help voters be an informed voter as they participate in this election. Did you know the website contains a link where you can find the Constitutional Amendment Explanatory Statements? Visit, www.hidalgocounty.us/elections to find a complete list of the amendments that are on the ballot, as well as important information on the six local city elections currently being administered.
“There are eight propositions on this year’s ballot,” said Ramón. “If you wait to view your ballot until you are at the polling location, it will cause longer wait times as voters will need to review the propositions before they make their selection.”
Another tool to use to be an informed voter is the Sample Ballot Look up Tool. This tool offers a convenient way for voters to look up their sample ballot and view it before they head to the polls. You can find the link on our website at www.hidalgocounty.us/elections. Clicking the link will direct you to the Sample Ballot Lookup Tool. Type in your information, which includes your first name, last name and your date of birth. Once you hit enter, your voting information will appear with a link to your sample ballot.
“Our website contains a variety of tools to help you prepare and learn what is on your ballot,” said Ramón. “If you are an informed voter, the voting process at the polling location will be quick and efficient.”
During this election, Hidalgo County will have 28 Early Voting polling locations. The Early Voting window commenced on Monday, Oct. 18and will continue through Friday, Oct. 29 and your ballot will be available at all polling locations. Election Day is on Tuesday, Nov. 2, and because Hidalgo County participates in the Countywide Polling Place Program, your ballot will also be at all 35 polling locations.
