Tuesday, October 9, is the last day for Texans to register to vote in the November 6 Presidential Election.  With the recent confusion about voter registration, you may want to check to make sure you are registered at the Texas Secretary of State website:

https://team1.sos.state.tx.us/voterws/viw/faces/SearchSelectionVoter.jsp , or at the Travis County Tax Office website: http://www.traviscountytax.org/showVoterSearch.do.

The voter registration application https://webservices.sos.state.tx.us/vrapp/index.asp can be used for first time voters, to change your address if you have voted in Texas before, or to get a replacement voter card.  Did you know that in Texas:

• You can register your spouse, your child, or a parent (driver’s license number or last 4 numbers of Social Security # required).
• Early voting begins on October 22 through Friday, November 2.
• Voters are not required to present photo ID – Texas law struck down by court.

If you live in Travis County:

• There are 19 ballot issues in addition to voting for the US President.

• You  can vote at any poll on Election Day.
