It’s now or never to register to vote in May
Thursday, April 6, 2023 by Elizabeth Pagano
Civically minded procrastinators, take heed! Today is the last day to register to vote for the May 6 election that features two similar but opposing propositions about police oversight in Austin. In general, United States citizens that are at least 17 years and 10 months old are eligible to vote in their county of residence, with exceptions for some convicted felons or those deemed by a court as ineligible to vote due to mental incapacitation. Texans can check to see if they are registered, and registered under the correct address, here. As today is the deadline for registration, election officials advise submitting an application in person at a county voter registrar.
