Things Texas Voters Should Know

It's a new year and, as far as elections go, it's going to a busy and especially important one.

Texas voters will be called upon pretty soon for early voting which starts February 18th. (Early voting for a runoff election here in El Paso has already begun.) If you are not yet a registered voter, you only have until February 3rd to take care of that. Here are the requirements:

• You are a United States citizen;
• You are a resident of the county where you submit the application;
• You are at least 17 years and 10 months old, and you are 18 years of age on
  Election Day.
• You are not a convicted felon (you may be eligible to vote if you have completed your sentence, probation, and parole); and
• You have not been declared by a court exercising probate jurisdiction to be either totally mentally incapacitated or partially mentally incapacitated without the right to vote. - votetexas.gov
