FACTS ABOUT VOTER REGISTRATION IN TEXAS

  • Texas Makes it extremely difficult to register to vote so it is critical to check that you are still registered. Gov. Greg Abbott claims to have purged over One Million Voters based on often inaccurate or outdated information.

  • Since Governor Abbott signed Senate Bill 1 into law in 2021, Texas has removed over 1 million people from the voter rolls.

  • Check here to find if you are still registered: https://teamrv-mvp.sos.texas.gov/MVP/mvp.do

  • You CANNOT register to vote online in Texas, you can only complete a mail-in application to receive a voter application which must be filled out and returned to your County Elections Administration office or a Wise County VOLUNTEER DEPUITY REGISTRAR.

  • If you have NOT VOTED in the last two elections you can be dropped from voter rolls. Check here.

  • If you have changed your name, address or county of residence you need to update your VR certificate information.
