Starting today, Austinites will get a chance to cast their ballots for (or against) decriminalizing weed and banning no-knock warrants under the petition-driven Proposition A. Early voting starts Monday and will run through Tuesday, May 3. Election day is May 7. Travis County residents may cast a ballot at any early voting location – all of which are listed on the county’s clerk’s website – from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Saturday and Sunday from noon-6 p.m. A number of elections are taking place in the area. The League of Women Voters Austin Area has put together a guide detailing those contests and outlining what voters should (and shouldn’t!) take to the polls.
