Don't miss the next voter registration deadline

Elections
Date Posted: 4/03/2018 | Author: Jennifer Mitchell, CAE
Texas has two elections coming up in May 2018 for which the deadlines to register to vote are quickly approaching.
First there is an election date on May 5, 2018, for local political offices. You must register by this Thursday, April 5, in order to be eligible to vote in your local elections next month.
Next up, on May 22, 2018, many voters will head back to the polls for runoffs in several primary election contests. You are eligible to vote in a political party's runoff election as long as you did not vote in another party's primary back in March. But you must also be registered before the deadline! Your last chance to register to vote in a primary runoff election this year is April 23.
For additional information on registering to vote, visit VoteTexas.gov. Learn more about which races are headed to a runoff in this article from the Texas Tribune. Also, be sure to check out our candidate profiles here on Teach the Vote.
