Texans who can't wait until Nov. 6 to cast their ballot in the general election can vote early, beginning Monday.

During the early voting period, which runs through Nov. 2, voters may cast a ballot at any polling place in their county of residence.

To cast a ballot during early voting or on Election Day, voters will need their voter registration card or, if they don't have it with them, a driver's license, a U.S. passport or some other document that establishes identity.
