Pro-Tip: Vote Early

The campaign is going strong, even after I have left for grad school.

Rogene's making more public appearances and I've lined up a few volunteers to take my place.

Congrats to Rogene for getting the Houston Young Stonewall Democrats endorsement! She also received the Houston GLBT endorsement committee's recommendation. This is a testament to her commitment to diversity and standing up for all Houstonians.

Pro Tip: Vote Early and Don't forget to request a mail-in ballot if you're away on Election Day
As a former election precinct judge, I though I'd share some important dates to keep in mind.

First Day to Apply for Ballot by Mail (i.e. for the elderly who qualify, and college students, military, etc. who are residents of Harris County but not physically there on Election Day. Your ballot will be sent to an address outside of Harris County) Once you request a mail in ballot, fill it out, and send it in, you'll receive the official election ballot in the mail. The signature on your application and completed ballot are cross-checked by two people (one from each party) to verify it is you.

September 6-Oct. 25, 2013

Last Day to Register to Vote (pick up forms at your local public library or most county wide offices)

Monday, October 21 - Friday, November 1, 2013

ELECTION DAYVote at the precinct location near your house (or the address you used where you registered to vote). Again, check the website to see where your polling location is. www.HarrisVotes.com www.FortBendvotes.com

NOW HIRING: Election Clerks
As always, elections don't happen in a vacuum. People make it happen. Sign-up to be an election poll worker at any of the polls in your county. It's a paid position but also a feeling of performing a civic duty. High school students (age 16 and up) can also work on Election Day! Contact your local County Clerk's Office (the office in charge with organizing elections in that county).
