Countdown to the General Election: Texas Educator Voting Day is October 22!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Early voting begins next Monday, October 22 and continues through Friday, November 2. Please make a plan to vote early!<\/p>\n

We encourage you to support your local educators and new student voters by voting on Texas Educator Voting Day<\/a>. Texas Educators Vote and many other education organizations across Texas are celebrating our Texas success in registering over 1.7 million new voters this year\u2014a record for a mid-term election in Texas\u2014by encouraging educators to go vote together. Please read the message below from Texas Educators Vote.<\/p>\n

Educator Voting Day: October 22, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have just passed the voter registration deadline, and there are now more than 15.7 million registered Texans! That is an increase of close to 1.7 million voters since 2014. Your dedication to registering all staff and students surely contributed to this 12% increase in registered voters.<\/p>\n

Now is the time to make sure that every registered voter actually votes. <\/strong>In March 2018, 77% of voting-age Texans were registered to vote, but only 13% voted. Registration is a necessary first step, but turnout determines elections.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We hereby declare the first day of early voting, October 22nd, 2018, to be Educator Voting Day<\/a>! Encourage your staff to vote early, wear their \u201cI Voted\u201d sticker, and model civic engagement for students! <\/strong>The Texas Secretary of State has declared the first Friday of early voting to be Student Voting Day<\/a>. Please plan for both of these important upcoming events.<\/p>\n
