Voter registration almost up!

Monday, February 4, 2008 is THE LAST DAY TO REGISTER TO VOTE or TO CHECK THAT YOU ARE STILL ON THE REGISTRATION ROLLS!

Texas, as have all of the other states because of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), has been switching over all of the counties' voter registration data to a statewide data base and in the process, some eligible voters are getting "dropped off" the rolls for a variety of reasons. So, it is important that you check your status no later than Monday if you plan to vote in the upcoming March 4, 2008 Texas Primaries.

WARNINGS!!

1. You cannot actually register to vote online in Texas! There is a form you can fill out on line, but you must print it out and deliver it to your county's voter registration offices or wherever else the form can be accepted before the deadline.

2. It has been discovered that if you go to the TX Secretary of State website to change your voting address because you have moved out of one county and into another, your registration in your old county will be canceled and the website will not automatically re-register you in the new county. You should then go to the website (if available) of your new county to find out how to register there from scratch.
However, if you have recently gotten a new drivers license at a DPS office because you have moved to a new county, the DPS is able to transfer your voter registration to the new county. You still should verify with your new county that everything was done correctly.

If you live in Travis County, here is a link to the Travis County Registrar's office to find out how to register or to check your registration status.

If you live outside of Travis County, go to the Texas Secretary of State's website and it will get you to the information about how to register or check your registration status.

Just wanted everyone to know the details so we can all try to change some of the shit the old folks have done to our house- cuz if you didn't know yet- this is our house now, and its time to clean up.
