Every time I add to this blog, the soundtrack in my head is Van McCoy and the Soul City Symphony’s The Hustle. I find it helps if you hum along while you read.
First up, the May 4th Special Election. You must be registered to vote by April 4th.
Confirm and get an application to register or update your address on the Voter Registar’s website.
- You must mail your application to register to vote. You cannot register to vote online in Texas.
- If you are already registered, you can update your address online with the Texas Secretary of State. If you do this within 30 days of the election, you vote using your old address.
This is a postmark deadline, meaning if you fill out a form and mail it, make sure it is postmarked on April 4th if not actually turned in to a deputy voter registrar or the Voter Registar’s office.
The election schedule and links to the voting centers. Definitely check the locations, as there may not be as many open as there are during regular elections.
