TRTA strongly encourages retired educators to vote early, avoid long lines and to take your friends and family with you. GET OUT AND VOTE TODAY!<\/p>\n<h2>Why You Should Vote in the Primary Election<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The Texas Legislature makes all critical decisions about your retirement security and health care benefits.<\/li>\n<li>More than 90 percent of state legislators are elected during the Primary Election because of the way districts are drawn to favor a political party. The General Election is non-competitive in all but a handful of districts.<\/li>\n<li>Early voting allows you to go to a central location in your county and skip the wait at your precinct location on Election Day.<\/li>\n<li>Find your polling place in your local newspaper, or your county website, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.votetexas.gov\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/www.votetexas.gov\">www.votetexas.gov<\/a>, or visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/teamrv-mvp.sos.texas.gov\/MVP\/mvp.do\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/teamrv-mvp.sos.texas.gov\/MVP\/mvp.do\">Secretary of State website<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Most importantly, you can brag about doing your civic duty and encourage others to follow your lead.
