Travis County Voter Registration
Voter Registration Events
Travis County Voter Registration strives to create and support a network for voter registration opportunities within our community.
Arranging Events
Travis County Voter Registration takes advantage of every opportunity to register voters:
-
Hosting and arranging our own events
-
Setting up a table at local events
-
Canvassing at local events
-
Canvassing in neighborhoods
​
We use a variety of tools to arrange these events such as:
-
Email Blasts
-
Facebook page
-
Signup Genius
-
Partnerships with organizations and businesses
​
We also currently have all of our voter registration events hosted on on our VDR Community Website Calendar. You can also request aid in hosting a voter registration on the same page here.
​
We also make sure to stay stocked with plenty of event supplies, such as tables, posters, and of course extra forms!

TCVR Events
National Voter Registration Month
-
While National Voter Registration Day (4th Tuesday of September) is a holiday outside of Travis County, we arrange voter registration events all over the county for the entirety of the month.
Voter Registration Deadline Day
-
On the last day to register to vote, 30 days before an election, we set up multiple voter registration efforts all over the county.
-
We will partner with local businesses and schedule dozens of VDRs at those locations.
-
We will keep the Voter Registration Offices open until late into the evening to allow last minute applicants in before the Deadline. Before a general election we have stayed open until midnight.
-
In 2020, we arranged Drive-thru Voter Registration Events on the deadline to keep up with social distancing guidelines.
Grad Week
-
This is an event in which we will set up a voter registration table in the waiting areas for high school seniors right before they graduate.
