Early voting for the May 14 municipal elections begins today at 7am and runs through Tuesday, May 10. Voters in numerous cities and school districts in Central Texas have decisions to make; here in Austin, we’ll be choosing three City Council seats. Travis County residents click here for info on where to vote.

If you’re not up to speed on who the council candidates are and what positions they hold, see this week’s articles on:

• Place 1 (Ingalls vs. Riley vs. Chan vs. Jacobson)
• Place 3 (Tovo vs. Nofziger vs. Bailey vs. Shade)
• Place 4 (Morrison vs. Rangel vs. Ryan)

We’ll have ongoing coverage through Election Day and beyond at Election Central.

Whether you agree with us or not, please go exercise the democratic rights that so many people have given their lives for – go vote!
