The Texas Election Code determines the last day to register to vote in an election in Texas. In order to be eligible to cast a ballot in the 2020 General Election scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 3, a citizen must be registered on or before Monday, Oct. 5. The League of Women Voters of the Hill Country Texas urges all citizens to take time to register to vote, to update personal details on voter registration information if needed (name and/or address) or to simply check the status of personal voter registration information.
A resident of Bandera County who is a citizen of the United States can register at any time in person at the Bandera County Election Department. Go to the Bandera County Tax Office at 403 12th Street in Bandera and complete the paperwork. Or a citizen can go online, print out a voter registration form and mail it to the Bandera County Election Department at P.O. Box 1882, Bandera, TX 78003.
