As early voting kicks off for the May 3 general election, Montgomery County residents—including those in Conroe and Montgomery—are urged to review key deadlines, polling locations, and contested races, including a $480 million road bond proposition.

Early voting is currently underway in Montgomery County, in preparation for the general election scheduled for May 3.
This provision provides residents of the Conroe and Montgomery areas with the opportunity to cast their ballots in several contentious school board elections, as well as a significant road bond project.
On Election Day, voters are required to cast their ballots at the precincts designated for them, and early voting is available until April 29. Proposition A, which seeks approval for the issuance of $480 million in bonds for the construction and repair of county roadways, is one of the most important topics on the ballot.
Other essential items include the trustee contests for positions 6 and 7 in the Montgomery Independent School District.
Applications for mail-in ballots must be submitted by April 22nd, and ballots must be received by May 3rd or May 5th if postmarked by 7 p.m. on Election Day.
The website elections.mctx.org contains additional information, such as voting places and sample ballots, which anybody can access.
