Register by Oct. 5 in order to vote

Texas Secretary of State Ruth R. Hughs has invited all eligible Texans to celebrate and participate in National Voter Registration Day by ensuring they are registered to vote ahead of the October 5th voter registration deadline for the November 3rd election. With two weeks until the deadline, the Secretary issued a final call to action to voters, community leaders, and elected officials to encourage their fellow Texans to register and prepare to vote in the upcoming election.

“An active and engaged citizenry plays an essential role in ensuring the continued well-being of our democracy,” said Secretary Hughs. “Ahead of the November election, I encourage all eligible Texans who have not already done so to register to vote by October 5th so that they can help shape the future of the Lone Star State.”

Texans should begin by checking their registration status on the Texas Secretary of State’s website on the “Am I Registered?” page.
