AUSTIN (Talk1370.com) -- If you're not registered to vote for the upcoming presidential election on Nov. 5, you're quickly running out of time. Monday, Oct. 7 is the deadline to register to be eligible to vote in the upcoming election.
November's ballot will contain everything from the presidential race between former president Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, to races for Congress and the Texas Legislature, and a number of local proposals that could have a significant impact on property tax rates across Travis County and other parts of Central Texas.
You can verify your voter registration status on the Texas Secretary of State's website. Under state law, you can register to vote if you are (or will be) 18 or older by Election Day on Nov. 5. More specifics can be found here.
If you need to register to vote, the best place to start is your county voter registrar's office. You can also download and mail an application, but it must be postmarked - not just mailed - on Monday in order to be valid.
In-person early voting begins on Oct. 21 and ends Nov. 1. The last day to apply for a ballot by mail is Oct. 25; Election Day is Nov. 5, when polls will be open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.
