Register to VOTE!

Register to VOTE     

This week marks the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guaranteed women the right to vote. “The 19th Amendment was a tremendous first step in the fight for women’s suffrage. However, it did not provide suffrage for all women. The fight for voting rights continued for another 100 years through the efforts of many organizations and heroic individuals, and that fight continues today. ” – Grace Chimene, President, League of Women Voters of Texas (TEV partner)

Let us honor the work of all who have fought for the right to vote by preparing to cast our vote this November. Register to vote! Check your voter registration to make sure it is active and accurate. Then, encourage your friends, family members, and co-workers to do the same. The deadline to register to vote in the November 3rd election is October 5th. With mail moving slowly, it is important to get this taken care of NOW! 

To do:

  1. Register to vote.
    1. Print off an application from the TX Secretary of State, fill it out, and mail it back.
    2. If you don’t have a printer or a stamp, go to Register2Vote to fill out an application, have it mailed to you for your signature, and then send it back in the pre-stamped envelope.
  2. Think you are already registered to vote?
