TYLER, Texas — May 4 will play host to municipal elections in Texas.
Early voting takes place April 22-30.
There are seven forms of acceptable photo identification one must have in order to vote:

"If you do not possess and cannot reasonably obtain one of the seven approved forms of photo ID, you may fill out a Reasonable Impediment Declaration (RID) at the polls and present an alternative form of ID, such as a utility bill, bank statement, government check, or your voter registration certificate," the secretary of state's office said.
