Before you go
To vote, residents must be registered at least 30 days before the election. Texas voters register by county, not by political party.
Eligible voters must be U.S. citizens, county residents, at least 17 years and 10 months old at the time of registration, not currently serving a felony sentence, and not declared mentally incapacitated without voting rights by a court.
Hutto City Hall is not an early voting location, and the early voting site within the city is still to be determined.
