Houston.

Your event already has the people. We connect schools, churches, businesses and community organizations with certified Harris County Volunteer Deputy Voter Registrars who can help people register, check their official status and update their information.

The window is closing.

Houston has a registration gap, and hundreds of thousands of registered voters may need to confirm or update their address. Register Houston is building the field capacity to help before October 5.

“Suspense” does not mean you cannot vote.

A Harris County voter in suspense is still considered active for voting purposes, but the county needs a current residence address. Check your record now so you receive the proper ballot.
