Several local school districts have bond elections this May, and those aren't the only things Central Texans will be weighing in on.

This voter guide breaks down everything you need to know to cast your ballot in the general election, from how to find your polling place to what you need to bring with you to vote.

When and where you can vote

The first thing you need to know: the last day to register to vote in this election was April 3. Here's how to check if you're currently registered.

To vote, you will want to see if the county you live in participates in the Countywide Polling Place Program (CWPP). If your county does participate in CWPP, you can vote at any polling place in the county. If your county doesn't participate in CWPP, you can only vote at the polling place assigned to you.

Early voting runs from Tuesday, April 22, through Tuesday, April 29.

On Election Day, Saturday, May 3, all polling places are open from 7 am to 7 pm. As long as you get in line before 7 pm, you will be able to vote.

If you voted early or by mail, here's how you can track the status of your ballot.

What you need to bring to vote

To vote in Texas, you need to have a form of identification [or sign a "Reasonable Impediment Declaration"] when you go to cast your ballot at a polling location.
