Early voting is underway for the March 3 primary elections, allowing voters to choose the candidates moving forward to the November general election. While Boerne is in Kendall County and only has one precinct, Fair Oaks Ranch residents are split between three counties, meaning voters will have to choose a location based on their county of residence.

• Feb. 17-20: 8 a.m.-6 p.m.

Texans will see candidates for 18 statewide positions on the March primary ballot, including one state railroad commissioner, the state land commissioner and the state agriculture commissioner.

The overview: Despite its name, the Railroad Commission of Texas does not govern the state’s railroads. So what do railroad commissioners and the leaders of other Texas agencies do?

Community Impact compiled information about various state agencies to help inform Texans before they head to the polls for the March primary elections.

At the polls: Early voting runs from Feb. 17-27, and primary election day is March 3.
