Today is the deadline for voter registration
Monday, October 5, 2020 by Tai Moses
If you’re planning on voting in the Nov. 3 general election in Texas – and the Austin Monitor fervently hopes you are – today is the last day you may register to vote. Travis County residents who still need to register may do so online at Vote411.org, then print out and mail the form to the Travis County Clerk’s Office. Or if you prefer, you may visit any Travis County Tax Office and register to vote in person. Here’s a list of locations. If you’ve moved in the past year or so and you’re not sure whether you’re registered, you may check your status here. The Monitor agrees with Grace Chimene, the president of the League of Women Voters of Texas, who says, “The right to vote is a fundamental principle of our democracy. When more Texans can participate in our elections, we have better outcomes that reflect our community values.” We also suggest you take a look at the League’s very useful web page on voter safety in the era of coronavirus.
