This election year there are three write-in’s on the ballot.
 
"We have a write-in for governor, state board of education, and county commissioner precinct one," said Hidalgo County Election Administrator Yvonne Ramon.
 
She said they had to change things up a bit—because the machines are all electronic. 

"In the voting booth we will have a list of the position, candidates name, and instructions on how to select a write-in candidate," said Ramon.

She said there have been write-in’s in the past—but believes people are more aware of it now because there is a local race involved.  
 
Some important dates for you to remember:

Last day to register to vote is October 4th.

Early voting starts on October 18th and continue through October 29th.

The deadline to apply for your mail-in ballot is October 26th.
