The basics
November feels far off, but the most important step happens long before Election Day. If you're not registered by October 5, you can't vote, no matter what. Now is the time to make sure you and the people you know are set.
Texas requires you to register at least 30 days before Election Day. Miss October 5 and you can't vote in November. Checking now means no surprises later.
Governor, a U.S. Senate seat, and every statewide office are decided November 3, including races that shape education, healthcare, and community funding.
Confirming a registration takes a couple of minutes at VoteTexas.gov. It's the simplest thing your community can do to be ready.
Bottom line:The deadlines will sneak up faster than you think. Sign up for updates and we'll make sure you never miss the date that matters, starting with the October 5 registration cutoff.
Why you, specifically
Political organizers spend millions trying to reach people, and you can do it with a single text. Research consistently shows that people are more likely to act on voting information when it comes from someone they already know. That's not a small thing. It's the most effective form of outreach there is, and you already have it.
Voters contacted by someone they personally know are up to 13 percentage points more likely to vote than those reached by a stranger or campaign volunteer.
