Deadline to Register for November 4 Texas Election Is Today, October 6

Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson has issued a reminder to Texans that Monday, October 6, marks the last opportunity to register to vote for the upcoming election on November 4. During this election, voters will have the chance to weigh in on 17 proposed amendments to the state constitution, along with several local ballot measures.

“This fall, Texans can express their opinions on significant matters, and I urge all eligible voters to prepare for the upcoming election,” Nelson stated in a release from her office.

Texans can access voter registration applications at VoteTexas.gov, where they can print, sign, and mail their completed forms. To ensure validity for the upcoming November election, applications need to be postmarked or delivered by the deadline of October 6. Citizens can check their registration status or locate their designated polling location by visiting the same website.

Texans will have the opportunity to participate in early voting from October 20 to October 31, allowing voters nearly two weeks to cast their ballots before Election Day. Individuals intending to cast their votes by mail should make certain that their application reaches the early voting clerk of their county by October 24.

This year’s statewide ballot will feature 17 proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution, addressing a range of issues, including property tax relief, funding for water infrastructure, and requirements for judicial eligibility. The public can access detailed explanations for each proposition via the website of the Texas Legislative Council at tlc.texas.gov/publications.

The Secretary of State’s Office is urging all eligible voters to prepare in advance and verify that their information is up to date. Texas residents who have relocated or changed their names since the previous election must update their registration details.

Election officials emphasize that engaging in the amendment process empowers Texans to directly influence the core laws and policies of the state. Residents can visit VoteTexas.gov or contact their local election office for comprehensive election details, including sample ballots, polling places, and voting questions.
