Voter Registration

We organize voter registration activities from time to time, enlisting the help of our members who have completed the training and examination required to be appointed as Volunteer Deputy Registrars to help people register to vote or update their voter registration information.  We traditionally are out and about on National Voter Registration Day in September of each year.

Voters Guides & VOTE411.org

We collect information from candidates running in local elections for inclusion in VOTE411.org, the League’s online Voters Guide, so that voters can have the opportunity to see who will be on their ballot and read candidates’ responses to questions about their qualifications for office and positions on issues. 

We produce printed Voters Guides for each election so that voters can read about constitutional amendments and candidates who are running for local, district, state, or federal office. Voters Guides are distributed to more than 30,000 South Central Texas households via our local newspapers. In addition, our Voters Guide distribution team works to place Voters Guides around the community in locations such as libraries, coffee shops, chamber of commerce offices, and other public places so that voters can easily spot them and take one home to do their research before going to vote.

Early Voting Campaign & Election Date Reminders

We know that people lead busy lives with many competing demands for their time, and - because of the high voter registration rate in our area - that people are interested in voting. Busy lives, not apathy or disinterest in voting, are likely explanations for the low voter turnout that we sometimes see.

We help remind voters that early voting has started by placing our “Voter dog” yard signs around the community and offering other reminders such as the last date to register to vote and when to apply for a mail-in ballot to help people make a plan to vote.

Candidate Forums & Meetups

From time to time, we host nonpartisan candidate forums or meet-and-greets to provide opportunities for voters to learn about candidates.
