You Still Have 13 Days Left to Register to Vote in Harris County

One of my neighbors is a volunteer deputy voter registrar in Harris County (Texas).  He posted the information below on another platform to educate people about how they can register to vote in Harris County.

The information below is cut and pasted from his post.  (I did delete bullet point of the post #1 because his post encouraged his neighbors to connect him directly. I also made an addition at the end of the post)

 October 5th is the last day to register to vote. Regardless of how you swing, you don't want to be left out. Here are a few ways to register:


#2 go to www.votetexas.gov and follow the steps. Note: you cannot register online in Texas. You have to print your application and mail it.
#3 Send e-mail to voters@hctx.net and ask for an application
#4 Call 713-274-8683 and ask for an application
#5 Go to the post office and ask them for an application

Very important: Make sure you are actually registered at your current address. You can check this by going to https://www.hctax.net/Voter/Search
Have you moved or changed your address? Go to https://txapps.texas.gov/tolapp/sos/SOSACManager
Note: If you have moved from one county to another, you must re-register!!!
Questions I always get asked: What's on the ballot? Where do I vote? What kind of ID do I need? Answers: go to www.harrisvotes.gov
Concerning the specific ballot, the League of Women Voters publishes a non-partisan comprehensive guide closer to the election. I've found that this is the easiest way to find objective, matter of fact information.

One addition, a comment was made to my neighbor's original post that voter registration information can be picked up at our local library. Given that you may not live in my direct neighborhood, I encourage you to inquire at a public library or libraries near you in regards voter registration materials.
