Today is the Last Day to Register to Vote in Presidential Election

SAN ANGELO, TX – Monday is the last day to register to vote in the Nov. 3 general election.  Early voting begins on Tuesday, Oct, 13. 

"An active and engaged citizenry plays an essential role in ensuring the continued well-being of our democracy," said Texas Secretary of State Ruth R. 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."

There are 16,617,436 registered voters in Texas — a new state record.

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

If you have moved to a new address within the same county or have changed your name, you can update your information online.

Eligible Texans who are not already registered to vote may complete and print a voter registration application here, or request an application from their county elections administrator. Once completed, eligible Texas voters should submit the application to the county voter registrar in their county of residence. Completed voter registration applications must be postmarked by October 5th in order to be accepted. 

Voters with questions about how to cast a ballot in the upcoming November 2020 General Election can call 1-800-252-VOTE or visit VoteTexas.gov for more information.

According to the Tom Green County Elections Office, your voter registration becomes effective 30 days after it is received by our office. There is no registration by political party in Texas. Citizens register in their county of current residence.

You will have an opportunity to register to vote when you get your driver's license renewed. However, you will not be registered with this office until we receive and process your card.
