Are you registered to vote?
Less than 2 weeks left to register to vote! October 7 is the deadline to register to vote in the November election. Voter eligibility information is available here. Registration forms are available for download in both English and Spanish and must be completed, signed, and mailed or hand delivered to Ann Harris Bennett, Tax Assessor-Collector & Voter Registrar, P.O. Box 3527, Houston, Texas 77253-3527. Voters can also check their voter registration here–even if you are registered, it is always a good idea to check!
