Texans go to the polls March 1 for presidential, local elections

The deadline is fast approaching for residents who want to vote in the March 1 primary elections but have not registered.

The last day to register is Feb. 1. With a presidential election on the ballot, officials are encouraging people who plan to register to do so sooner rather than later.

“Do it as quickly as possible. I recommend either coming straight into our office to do it or go online to get an application and fill it out and then hand carry it to us or put it in the mail,” said Remi Garza, administrator of CameronCounty’s Department of Elections and Voter Registration.

There are several ways people can access voter registration applications. They can find the applications on the Election’s Department website, the Texas Secretary of State website or they can visit the county’s Election’s Department in person and fill out an application there.
