Early voting for the May 6 general election is now underway across Texas.
McLennan County elections administrator Jared Goldsmith said turnout for May elections is typically low compared to November elections.
In May 2021, just under 6,000 voters participated in the county's municipal election.
What's on the ballot
That May 6 election consists of local elections from cities and school districts, including school board and city council elections.
Harker Heights residents will also be voting on the fate of the recently-rejected "Proposition A", which would de-criminalize low-level marijuana offenses.
