    2022 General Election Voter Guide

    October 23, 2022 by Mark L. Torrey in / / / / / / /

    The Bastrop County Republican Party (BCRP) and Lost Pines Republican Women (LPRW) joined together to generate and mail a 16 page Voter Guide.  This 2022 General Election issue is loaded with Candidate information, and will begin arriving in your mailbox early next week.  You’ll also find Early Voting and Election Day polling places, dates and hours, a current list of your BCRP Executive Committee, Officers and Precinct Chairs, as well as information and an application for LPRW membership.

    Remember cellphones and other digital devices are not permitted inside the polling place, but you can take the red boxed tear off section of candidates on the last page of the Voter Guide as your helpful notes.

    For additional information, visit our 2022 Republican Candidates post, where you’ll find links to each respective candidate website or Facebook pages, and more …
