BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Elections Administrator Jared Goldsmith wants to make sure you do this correctly and on time.
Goldsmith says residents have several options:
“You can check your registration at VoteTexas.gov,” he explained. “You can come to our office. We have voter registration applications here. Post offices and libraries typically have voter registration applications as well. If you fill out an application and mail it to us, make sure that application is postmarked by the deadline to register to vote, which is Monday, October 6.”The application requires your name, residential address, and either your driver’s license number or the last four digits of your Social Security number.
What’s on the Ballot
Goldsmith noted that Texans will decide on 17 constitutional amendments this year covering a range of topics. In McLennan County, voters will also weigh in on matters affecting 11 cities, school districts, and special districts.
“Your vote counts,” Goldsmith emphasized. “Voting is not something you can do everywhere in the world. We can’t take it for granted here in the United States, so it’s very important to make sure you get registered, get out, and vote.”
