Educator Voting Day – February 18, 2020
Early voting for the Texas Primary Election begins February 18th and continues through February 28th. This is what we have been preparing you for! You have registered to vote; you are researching candidates and building your ballot; and now it is time for the most important step – voting!
The best way to create a culture of voting in our public schools is by demonstrating that voting is easy, fun, and important. That is why we proclaimed the first day of early voting to be Educator Voting Day. Vote on Tuesday, February 18th; wear your “I voted” sticker; and model civic engagement for students.
To do:
- Vote on Tuesday, February 18th and wear your “I voted” sticker proudly.
- Take a selfie with your “I voted” sticker and post on social media.
- Tag us @TxEdVote and use the hashtags #Vote #TxEd #TxLege #TxEdVote
- Encourage friends, family, coworkers, and students to vote early!
- Share our website with links to research and voting info.
