Register to vote on National Voter Registration Day

of Election Day. We're less than two months away from Election Day, and we're talking much more about making sure you're registered to vote by that October 5th deadline. Jay Flurry, keeping an eye on all of that for us joins us live right now in our studio. Good morning to you. Good morning, Delon Melissa. So National Voter Registration Day. It's the nation's largest nonpartisan day of voter registration, and it's a push to help people get involved and ready for the November election. So that means today thousands of nonprofits will be partnering with libraries, colleges and community groups across the country to get people ready to vote. They'll be helping people register, check their registration status and update their address if they've moved or if any of that info has changed. Also happening today, the Harris County Clerk's Office. They'll be testing their voting equipment ahead of the November election. The testing is to make sure that the machines accurately record and tabulate the ballots before voting begins. Now, here are some important dates that you will want to keep in mind. First, if you are not registered to vote yet, the deadline to register in Texas is October 5th. Early voting in person starts October 19th and runs through October 30th. And if you're voting by mail, your application has to be received by October 23rd, not just postmarked by that date. And then, of course, Election Day is November 3rd. And if you happen to not be sure if you are registered to vote, you can always check that online. You just go to vote texas dot gov and look for the M. I. Registered tool. You can use your name, driver's license or voter I. D. To look up your registration status. Delana Melissa. A lot of organizations making sure people are registered. I know Delta Sigma Theta. They're having getting out and register today and several other organizations to across you. Get it done. No excuse, right?
