REVUP Texas: What You Need to Know to Vote
Remember October 5th is the last day to Register you want to vote on Nov 3rd.
People went to jail and even died for your right to vote, so use it. If you aren’t already registered, step one is to register, and you can do that easily via Register2Vote.org Go to the site, fill out the form, they send you a registration card that is properly addressed and filled in. All you have to do is sign it and drop the postage paid form in the mail. Do it soon because time is running out.
Rev Up Texas website has information for voters with disabilities, including an accessible video interview with US Senate candidate MJ Hegar. Incumbent candidate Cornyn has been asked numerous times for an interview and if he ever responds they will post his interview as well (if you are a Cornyn supporter you can help by giving him a nudge, cause he has ignored all requests so far.) They have lots of great videos on the site and tons of good information. Check it out!!! Questions? You can contact them at: revuptx@gmail.com 512-431-4085
Monday October 5, 2020 is the deadline to register in Texas.
Early in person voting starts 10/13/20 and goes until 10/30/20. To find a location near you the Secretary of State has a site VoteTexas.gov that will tell you where to vote closer to the election day.
Or go to your county clerk’s or election website. If you’re not from one of the places listed below just googling your county’s name elections should take you to the right place:
Fort Worth & Arlington San Antonio
Hildalgo County Corpus Christi
Many of these sites will let you check if you are still registered, see a sample ballot and much more. The Texas League of Women Voters also has tons of good information on races, voting, and much more including info for voters with disabilities!
This year, 2020, is the 100th anniversary of women winning the right to vote.
