HAYS COUNTY
Voter Registration Renewal Card Delay will not Prevent Registered Voters from Participating in Upcoming Elections
In response to concerns from the public and to various erroneous emails that are circulating, Hays County Elections Administrator Joyce Cowan is assuring Hays County voters that while ongoing litigation regarding state redistricting plans has delayed the mailing of voter registration certificate renewals, the expiration of voter registration cards on Dec. 31, 2011 will not prevent citizens from voting in upcoming elections.
The Texas Secretary of State's Office has issued this additional information: As a result of ongoing redistricting litigation, the mailing of new voter registration certificates is delayed. The expiration of your old voter registration certificate on 12/31/2011 does not invalidate your voter registration.
- If you do not have any changes to your voter registration (i.e., you haven't moved or changed your name), no action is needed at this time.
- If you remain in your county of registration but have changed your residence address or name, you will need to submit your updated information to your county voter registrar and your new voter registration certificate will be mailed to you from your county voter registrar.
- If you have changed your residence address to a new county, you will need to submit a new voter registration application no later than the 30th day before Election Day.
- If you are not sure where you are registered, you can check online here.
Once the court approves interim redistricting maps and counties have the opportunity to finalize precinct lines, the county will issue new voter registration certificates.
In addition, Ms. Cowan reminds voters that they can expect their new yellow cards before the 2012 primary elections, which are not yet set. They will be valid through Dec. 31, 2013.
For questions about the renewal process or to register to vote, contact the Hays County Elections Department at 512-393-7310 or visit www.co.hays.tx.us/elections. |
INFORMATION FOR MONDAY E-MAILS
All members are welcome to send us information to post in The Enterprise On-Line weekly update. Please send your brief write-up by e-mail or in Word format to dschamber@drippingspringstx.org.
Information must be received by Thursday @ 5:00pm. Please know that your information will be posted as you have written it without editing. ALSO - PLEASE KEEP US UPDATED REGARDING POSTS FOR EMPLOYMENT! If you fill the position, let us know so we can remove the listing. |
