Conroe Special Election: Check Your Polling Place

**Conroe Voters Urged to Verify Polling Locations for May 6 Special Election**

**CONROE, TX** – Conroe residents are reminded that a crucial Special Election is set for Saturday, May 6, 2023, and election officials are strongly advising all voters to confirm their assigned polling place *before* heading out, particularly for Election Day. Significant shifts have occurred in many traditional voting locations, necessitating a double-check to ensure a smooth voting experience.

This special election will decide the occupant of Conroe City Council Place 1 and address a bond proposition put forth for city consideration. Voters are encouraged to research the candidates vying for the Place 1 seat and understand the specifics of the bond proposition, which typically outlines funding for key municipal projects or infrastructure.

**Early Voting Opportunities**

The early voting period commenced on Monday, April 24th, and will continue through Tuesday, May 2nd. During this window, registered voters within Montgomery County can cast their ballot at any designated early voting location across the county.

The primary early voting location is Conroe City Hall, situated at 300 W. Davis St. Standard early voting hours are 8 AM to 5 PM. However, extended hours have been scheduled to accommodate more voters:

* **Thursday, April 27th:** 8 AM to 8 PM
* **Tuesday, May 2nd (final day of early voting):** 7 AM to 7 PM

**Election Day: Know Your Precinct**

On Election Day itself, Saturday, May 6th, polling places will be open from 7 AM to 7 PM. It is imperative that voters understand and adhere to the rule for Election Day: you *must* vote at your specifically assigned precinct location. This is where the changes in polling locations, often influenced by recent redistricting or adjustments to facility availability within Conroe’s five city council districts, become most critical.

**How to Confirm Your Polling Place**

To avoid arriving at the wrong location and ensure your vote is counted, Conroe election officials and the Montgomery County Elections Administrator’s Office recommend the following:

* **Montgomery County Elections Website:** The most reliable source for up-to-date information is the official Montgomery County Elections website. Visit **[mctx.org/elections](https://www.mctx.org/departments/departments_a_-_f/elections/)** and utilize their “Voter Precinct Search” tool. You can typically enter your address to find your assigned Election Day polling place and confirm registration status.
* **Sample Ballot:** Your mailed sample ballot should clearly list your specific assigned precinct polling place for Election Day.
* **Contact Elections Office:** For direct assistance, voters can contact the Montgomery County Elections Administrator’s Office during business hours.

**Voter Identification Requirements**

Voters in Texas are required to present an acceptable form of photo identification at the polls. Acceptable forms include:
