Early voting got underway yesterday for the May 6 City and School Board elections. Information about early voting schedules and locations, along with along with sample ballots and a voters guide can be found on BastropVotes.org.
While these are non-partisan elections, we thought it would be helpful if voters had voting history information about the various candidates. And, where we could find them, we've linked to candidate websites or Facebook pages. (The names in red are those with links.)
