Vote safely and make your voice heard

Vote safely and make your voice heard 

Going to the polls may not top the list of things you want to do right now. It is hot outside. People are sick out there. You want to stay safe and healthy and minimize exposure to the outside world. I hear you. Me too. It’s just a primary runoff election, right? Well, all those things are true. But elections matter and many important decisions will be made during these primary runoffs. Early voting ends Friday, July 10th and Primary Runoff Election Day is Tuesday, July 14th. If you haven’t already voted by mail or voted early, please consider suiting up like the hero you are and heading to the polls to vote. Put on your mask, bring your hand sanitizer, print out your ballot choices at Vote411.org , grab your ID, and head off to vote. Every election matters and your vote is your voice.

To do:

  1. Research what will be on your ballot and see where candidates stand on public education issues through links on the TEV research page to Teach the Vote and The League of Women Voters of Texas.
  2. Build your ballot with the League of Women Voter’s Vote411.org website and print it out to take to the polls.
  3. Make sure you have your mask, hand sanitizer, and voter ID.
  4. GO VOTE!
