Voter Registration Deadline Approaching: Events and Details

Monday is the last day to register to vote in the 2023 presidential election.

Check your registration status and update your information:

• Texas Voter Registration

Hand-deliver your application to avoid delays:

• Due to USPS delays, hand-delivering your application is recommended.
• Travis County volunteer deputy registrars will be available at multiple locations Monday.

Travis County Voter Registrar Bruce Elfant:

• "If you’re going to register at the last minute, give it to a (volunteer deputy registrar), don’t mail it in... I wouldn’t mail it in within two or three days of the deadline."
• "Every big cycle, we have 1,500 or 2,000 people who probably mailed it before midnight" on deadline day but didn’t get the postmark proving it.

Making Sure Every Voice Counts

Thundercloud Subs co-owner Mike Haggerty:

• "It’s a one-minute process: You show your ID, it’s super fast to have it happen... Making it easier probably gives people the motivation to get it done and be part of the process."

Registering to vote ensures more people are heard at a crucial time.
