It depends on where you are registering voters.  If you are registering voters:  at a non-partisan event with a non-partisan group  or at a business that requests non-partisan activity  then you cannot showcase any partisan expression. However, if you are working with a partisan campaign, organizations, or a public space on your time, you can express any partisan beliefs that you wish.

You do not need permission to register voters in any public space, such as parks, libraries, government buildings, neighborhoods, etc.  For private spaces, such as businesses, or apartments, you will require permission from the manager or property owner. 

Yes, you can. There are not negative consequences or repercussions for completing a voter registration application, even if you are already registered to vote. In fact, we have a saying: when in doubt, fill it out! 

There are many ways to get involved as a VDR. Travis County provides a few options here: Travis County VDR Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TravisCountyVDR/  This is a great way to connect with your fellow VDRs Voter Registration (VR) opportunities are often shared on that page. VDR Community Website: https://www.vdrcommunity.com/  This is an alternative to facebook It also has our VR Events Calendar, which we update consistently There are also VR Groups on that page who are recruiting VDRs Voter Registration Emails Keep an eye on your inbox, because we also email our calendar and specific VR events that come up You can also join an organization that focuses specifically on Voter Registration and Outreach such as: The League of Women Voters MOVE Texas Headcount JOLT And many more! Finally, you can also bring voter registration to any organizations or causes you believe in. Do you work with homeless outreach on the weekends? Incorporate Voter Registration to your unhoused neighbors. Are you participating in a political campaign? Offer voter registration when canvassing for your candidate or cause.  No matter what organization or cause you are working with, they would be happy to know they have a VDR amongst their ranks!

You can assist an applicant in registering to vote, including and up to filling out the voter registration application for them. The only thing you cannot do is sign the application for them. However, any mark will do for a signature, be it an “X”, a squiggle, or a line.  Furthermore, many people with disabilities will have an official agent who can sign the application for them. And if they do not have an agent, then their parent, child or spouse can sign it for them.  And in all of these cases, the Agent will need to write their relationship next to their signature in this way: Signature - Parent/Spouse/Child

The answer to this question is it truly depends.  If someone has been previously convicted of a felony, they CAN register to vote if they are “Off-Paper.” This is the slang term for someone who has been previously convicted of a felony and have completed their terms of punishment, including: Any term of incarceration Parole Supervision Period of Probation OR they could have received a pardon.  If someone tells you they have previously been convicted of a felony, ask them if they are “off-paper.” If they say yes, then they can register to vote. If they say no then they should not register to vote.  If the applicant is unsure, advise them to get in contact with their lawyer, or someone they trust, and ask that person about their status. And the person in question should do this before they register to vote.  As a VDR, it is your duty to register people to vote, NOT to advise people on whether or not they are legally able to vote. 

There are a few ways you can register someone experiencing homelessness: Ask them to use the residential address of a location they frequent often, or that of a trusted friend or family member. Use the cross streets of the location they currently reside, ie: Rundberg and Lamar

You cannot register someone if they are not a citizen. This includes: Residents People who are here on work visas Anyone with a green card You must be a citizen in order to vote or register to vote. To do so, while not being a citizen, is a felony.

Yes, a voter can register certain people on their behalf: Parent Spouse Child They can register these people to vote on their behalf, and only these people. If a Parent, Spouse, or Child fills out and signs a voter registration form on behalf of someone else, they have to write their relationship next to the signature in this way: Signature - Parent/Spouse/Child

College Students can register to vote and vote in EITHER their hometown of residence, or the county they are currently residing in to study. Students can choose whichever county to register to vote and vote in, but they CANNOT register to vote and vote in BOTH counties.

While a Texas resident has to be 18 years or older in order to vote, a Texas resident can be at least 17 years and 10 months old in order to REGISTER to vote. In short, you can register to vote if your 18th birthday is No More than months away.

There is NO Online Voter Registration in Texas. There are some Digital options for voter registration. However, in all digital cases, the applicant would be following a specific and lengthy process: The applicant would complete the voter registration application online Upon completion, the applicant would then be mailed their pre-filled application to sign Upon signing the application, the applicant would mail it back to the Voter Registrar A “Wet” signature is legally required to register to vote. That is to say, you must physically sign a voter registration application in order for it to be legally viable.

Yes, you can, and you can do so here: https://tx-prod-tc-public.azurewebsites.us/registrationapplication However, if you moved out of Travis County, or moved into Travis County from out of county, you cannot update your address online.

Yes, the person is already registered to vote in the county, just not at their current address. The voter will be given a chance to update their address at the poll with a Statement of Residence.

If someone is currently registered to vote in Travis County, but are currently residing in another county, they can vote in Travis County using Ballot by Mail. For more information, please click on this link: Ballot by Mail - Travis County Clerk

VoteTravis.com This is also a great resource for polling locations, sample ballots, information about ballot-by-mail, and other great voting resources.

It will take up to 30 days after the completion of the Voter Registration Application

The Voter Registration lasts indefinitely, and only expires upon the following conditions: If someone moves out of Travis County If someone is inactive as a voter for an extended period of time If someone moves within Travis County, they are still registered to vote, they simply need to update their address before the Voter Registration Deadline. And even if they do not update their address before then, they can still update their address at the Polling Location, and will still be able to vote.

Yes, you do. You should update your address before the Voter Registration Deadline, however, you can also update your address at the Polls.

You can drop off applications at the same locations you can pick up applications and supplies. NOTE: Two of our locations have 24 hour drop boxes: Main Tax Office at Ridgepoint Voter Registration Satellite Office at McKinney Falls

No, you cannot. This is because the mail-in forms do not have a receipt. If you lose the mail-in forms, the applicant does not have any record of having registered to vote. If you do turn in mail-in forms this serves as grounds for disqualification from the Travis County VDR Program.

VDRs must drop off all Completed and Incomplete applications at a drop-off location or a drop box within 5 days OR by 4pm on the day after a deadline.
