Early voting for next month's election begins Oct. 21 and runs through Nov. 1. Throughout the state, voters will weigh in on 10 constitutional amendments. You can find a break down of each amendment here, and see a sample ballot here.

But apart from the constitutional amendments Texans will be voting on, there are also a few bond elections and local races that will appear on some West Texas ballots.

NOTE: If you don't see your county listed here, you'll only be voting on constitutional amendments and there won't be additional ballot items.
