County to Ike Evacuees: Register to Vote Now!
Travis County Clerk Dana DeBeauvoir and Tax Assessor-Collector (and Voter Registrar) Nelda Wells Spears issued a plea today for Hurricane Ike evacuees to make sure they are registered to vote by the Oct. 6 deadline, if they want to vote in the Nov. 4 election.
The duo emphasized three things:
• Anyone who thinks they are registered should double-check
• Anyone who is not registered should do so by Oct. 6
• Displaced Texans can register for their permanent address regardless of where they are at the moment, or they can register as a Travis County resident and vote here. They also emphasized that it's best to check on this now, rather than frantically dealing with it on Oct. 6 or on Election Day. Press release from Travis County follows:
