Reminder: Today is Voter Registration Deadline for May 29 Primary Elections

AUSTIN, Texas – Texas Secretary of State Hope Andrade is reminding Texans today is the last day to register to vote in the May 29 Primary Elections. Voter registration applications must be postmarked by midnight, Monday, April 30 to be eligible to vote in the May 2012 Primary Elections. 

Texans can verify their voter registration, fill out a voter registration application online to print and mail, or find information on how to register to vote on the state’s online, one-stop voter resource, www.votetexas.gov. They can also find contact information for all local elections administrators or county clerks around Texas. 

“Registering to vote is the first step in the voting process and is quick and easy. I urge Texans to visit VoteTexas.gov to find out if they’re registered to vote and if not, VoteTexas.gov will tell you how to register,” said Texas Secretary of State Hope Andrade. “If you’re already a registered voter, please check the site regularly for updates on the 2012 election cycle to ensure you have all the information necessary to vote, and make your mark on Texas.” 

Eligible Texans can also register in person at county Voter Registrars offices. (In most Texas counties, the Tax Assessor-Collector is also the Voter Registrar. In some counties, the County Clerk or Elections Administrator registers voters.) To register by mail, applications are available at county Voter Registrars’ offices or the Secretary of State's office. Applications are also available at libraries, government offices, or high schools.
