Texas voters must be registered 30 days before elections to participate, which means that today is the last day to register to vote for the May 1 elections. Travis County residents can determine whether they are registered at votetravis.com. If you’re not registered, don’t panic; here’s an online application. In addition, voter registration forms can be downloaded to be mailed or hand-delivered to the Travis County voter registrar. Applications should be addressed to: Travis County Voter Registration, PO Box 149327, Austin, TX, 78714 and they may be dropped off at 5501 Airport Blvd. Applications must be postmarked or received by April 1. In case of changed names or addresses, voters can update their voter registration online.
