Do I need to re-register to vote?
Two weeks ago, I moved from Austin, Texas, to San Marcos. That’s a quaint little college town that’s halfway between Austin and San Antonio. I’m going to Texas State University. I’m a very politically active person. Since the debates have been going on, I’ve been asking a lot of questions. There is one that has just popped up today. Do I need to re-register to vote in Hays County or am I still registered in Travis County? When I filled out my change of address form at the post office, did it automatically forward over, or do I need to be proactive again?
Absolutely, yes – re-register!
You should re-register anytime you move. Your registration might have been flagged for an irregularity. Also, it’d just be more convenient to be registered near where you live now. You can only vote at the place where you’re registered.
