Together, we can make a Blue Texas

01. Verify Your Voter Registration

Even if you are positive that you’re a registered voter, we recommend that you check early and often. 1,000,000 voter registrations have been purged from the rolls in the state of Texas since the last election. Some of those were legitimately individuals who have moved to another state or who are deceased, but there have been some erroneous removals as well.

You can Check Your Status on the Texas SOS website. If you are not already registered, you can get more info about Registering to Vote on our website.

02. Spread the Word with Friends & Family

The numbers show that higher voter turn-out leads to better performance for Democratic candidates. Help friends check whether they are registered. If they aren’t politically involved, maybe there’s something they aren’t aware of that would make them feel like they have some skin in the game. We have a chance to shape the future of our country, but we have to talk to one another and embrace community.

03. Research the Candidates

There are many resources, including candidates’ own websites, but here are a few of our favorite resources for facts to help you make educated decisions on your representatives.

Vote411.org

BallotPedia (Check out the Policy Positions section)

OpenSecrets (Have a look at Oil & Gas contributions to Republicans. Over $14M to Trump)

03. Find Your Polling Location

Early Voting from October 21, 2024 (Monday) – November 1, 2024 (Friday)

Voting during the early voting period is quick and easy, with lots of locations available to choose from. If you are registered and eligible, you may vote at ANY early voting location in your county of residence. Starting 2 days before early voting begins, you can find all of the Early Voting Locations on the Texas Secretary of State website.

Election Day Voting on November 5, 2024 (Tuesday)

On Election Day, if your county participates in the Countywide Polling Place Program, you can vote at any location in your county of residence. If not, you can only vote at the voting precinct assigned to you. You can Find Your Voting Precinct Location by using the Texas SOS “My Voter Portal” website.

04. Don’t Forget Acceptable Photo Identification

• Texas Driver License*
• Texas Election ID Certificate*
• Texas Personal ID Card*
• Texas Handgun License*
• U.S. Citizenship Certificate with Photo
• U.S. Military ID Card*
• U.S. Passport (Book or Card)*

If you do not possess and cannot reasonably obtain one of the above photo IDs, you can still vote if you fill out a Reasonable Impediment Declaration at your polling place, and show a copy or original of one of the following approved IDs:

• Certified Domestic Birth Certificate or Court Admissible Birth Document
• Current Utility Bill
• Bank Statement

• Paycheck
• Government document with your name and an address including your Voter Registration Certificate
