more votes, and that means less
voters, less ballots cast…Get it?!?
Victoria County has made it
very easy, to some capacity to vote
on Election Day. You do need
picture identification, and it cer-
tainly wouldn’t hurt to have your
voter identification card as well.
You can cast your ballot by mail
if you’re 65 or older, disabled. You
will be out of Victoria County on
Election Day or you are in jail.
You can early vote from October
22 through November 2 at several
voting locations.
And on Election Day you can
cast your ballot at anyone of the
35 precincts, as well as the Patti
Dobson Health Center located at
2805 North Navarro. In most lo-
cations you can be in and out in
five minutes, and I assure you that
it’s completely painless.
If you have any questions you
can call the Election’s Administra-
tor’s office at 361.576.0124.
So there it is all the info you
need to do your part in this up
coming election…so stand up and
be counted…I know that I will…
