Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector and Voter Registrar Leo Vasquez reminds citizens who have not yet registered to vote that Monday, October 4 is the registration cutoff for this year’s Nov. 2 election.
“Although this not a presidential election year, we will again be voting for the governor, numerous other statewide officials, legislators, judges and local officials, including the Harris County judge,” Vasquez pointed out.
If you are a citizen who wants to vote in the Nov. 2 election and has not yet registered, please act now. You must complete an application and deliver it to one of our branches by 4:45 p.m. Monday, Oct. 4 or mail it in time for it to be postmarked no later than Oct. 4.
Citizens can obtain a voter registration application at any Tax Office branch location, local post offices, libraries and City of Houston community and health centers. For a map of Tax Office branches, go to www.hcvoter.net. Or you may also download an application in English, Spanish or Vietnamese at www.hcvoter.net.
If you were previously registered to vote in Harris County and have not moved or changed your name since the last election, then you are still registered and do not need to file any additional paperwork. However, if you have recently moved to a new address in Harris County or changed your name, please be sure to update your registration. Voter registration help is also available by telephone at (713) 368-VOTE.
Remember, if you don’t vote you don’t get to complain about how the elections turned out. I’m sure everyone reading this is already registered, but if you know someone who isn’t, please remind them they need to fix that now.
