The Travis County Tax Office is welcoming help from any county resident over 18 who would like to learn how to register voters in a nonpartisan manner. The free, one-hour training course – required by state law – concludes with “the swearing in of participants as volunteer deputy registrars, the designation required to register voters.” To ensure there are enough training manuals for all, the tax office requests that interested residents sign up in advance for their training. Here is the schedule of March trainings:
