If you haven't registered to vote for the upcoming presidential election, today is your last chance. Monday, October 7, is the deadline to register to be eligible to vote in the November election.
Voter advocates stress the importance of checking your registration status, as the Texas Secretary of State recently updated the voter roll system.
In late August, Governor Greg Abbott announced that Texas had removed over 1.1 million names from the voter rolls, following a 2021 law. This included 460,000 names classified as "suspended" voters.
From VoteTexas.gov:
Texas law requires eligible voters to register by the 30th day before Election Day. The voter registration deadline for the November 5, 2024 Election is October 7, 2024.
To confirm your voter registration status, you can visit the Texas Secretary of State’s Am I Registered?’ portal, which allows you to look up your voter registration record in the statewide voter registration database.
Voter registration in Texas is county-based, so we encourage you to contact your county voter registrar for specific questions regarding the status of your voter registration.
Texans who have recently changed their name or moved can easily update their voter registration online through Texas.gov. Click here to update your voter registration information online.
