In addition to a number of exciting local races in November – including one for mayor and an affordable housing bond – Texas voters will get to choose a governor and attorney general. It’s imperative that Austinites make sure they are registered to vote by Oct. 11 in order to vote in the election. Luckily, the Voter Registration Division of the Travis County Tax Office has 112 locations where one can register, and a handy map to show you where they are and when they are open. All Travis County residents – even those who are registered to vote – should also ensure that their information is current and accurate. Would-be voters may check their registration online, and change their address (if they have moved within the state). Early voting will run from Oct. 24 to Nov. 4. Election day is Tuesday, Nov. 8.
