Maverick County candidates are visiting voters at their homes, neighborhoods, clubs, public events, and making their lists of voters to contact in preparation for the Early Voting Period, which starts on Tuesday, February 20th.  Candidates are engaging volunteers, supporters, and paid campaign workers to start strong during the Early Voting Period. One candidate noted that the top paid campaign workers, also known as “acarreadoras” or “politiqueras”, are charging between $600 to $800 per week during the campaign season.

Maverick County voters are reminded to bring a valid Identification Card with them to the polling place at the Multi-Purpose Center such as your Texas Drivers License or Texas Identification Card.
