Thank you!
The November 4 Regular Election is fast approaching, and the deadline to register to vote or make any changes
to name or address information is October 6. Early voting for the November election will be conducted from
October 20 through 31.
According to Diana McRae, Walker County Election Officer, citizens may check and update their registrations by
logging on to www.VoteTexas.gov or by calling the Voter Registration Office at (936) 436-4959.
"By preparing now, voters can help make sure voting goes smoothly when it comes time for the election," said
McRae. "As photo identification is now required for voting in person, we also hope to use the coming weeks to
make sure our voters understand the ID requirements and have all the information they need to cast their ballots."
