This Friday, November 4 is the last day to early vote and Election Day is next Tuesday, November 8.
If you have already voted, thank you! If you haven’t voted yet, please make your plan to vote early this week, or on Election Day. There are no more weekend voting days, they happened last weekend!
Millions of Texas students (who aren’t old enough to vote) are counting on voters to elect candidates who will make sure their schools are funded, that they get meaningful and engaging learning, and that their teachers are supported and well paid. By voting, you can exert your power and support the 5.5 million kids in Texas public schools.
If you don’t vote, someone else will make those decisions for you. It is not hyperbole to say that the future of public education will be decided by the people who show up to vote. Public education is on the ballot like never before.
Your vote is your superpower. Put on that cape and head to the polls!
To Do:
1. Visit the TEV website to:
a. Learn who makes key education policy decisions.
b. Learn what candidates think about education issues.
c. Build your personal ballot.
2. Visit your county elections website for details about where and when to vote.
3. VOTE and share a selfie (not in the voting booth) and tag us @TxEdVote.
