Our Texas Voter Guide will help you prepare for the Nov. 7 elections.

The Nov. 7 elections are approximately a month away and that means it's time to start doing research on local races and ballot initiatives.

The Chronicle's Politics Team compiled all of the important races and initiatives and put them in a 2023 Texas Voter Guide, this includes notable elections and propositions in the suburbs. I'd suggest bookmarking the link because the team will continue to update the guide as we get closer to the elections.
