Gather County Support Instructions

County Election Officials around the state are eager to adopt OVR. Get them on record in support for a statewide appeal for an accurate, secure, and cost-effective registration system.

How to Gather Support

We appreciate your support for modernizing our elections and the adoption of Online Voter Registration. You can help ensure our elections are accessible to all!

Texas has 254 counties and four different elected and appointed offices that can play a part in registering voters and administering elections. That’s about 1,000 people we need to ask to sign on in support of Online Voter Registration.

  1. Find Your County:
    Check out if your county’s officials have signed on by clicking on your county in the interactive map, or checking here.
  2. See Where Your County Stands:
    If you’re missing support from one or more of your county officials, it’s time to reach out!
  3. Ask Your Officials to Sign On in Support:
    Email, call, or visit your county officials and ask them to sign our support letter! If they email back with questions, you can refer them to Common Cause Texas at agnaedinger@commoncause.org. 

Want to do even more? You can ask your county commissioners to adopt a resolution in support of Online Voter Registration. Use our resolution template as a starting point, or you can see examples of these resolutions that other counties have passed here.

With enough county officials signed on in support of online voter registration, it will be difficult for legislators to ignore our call for secure, accurate, and cost-effective voter registration, already in place in 39 other states.

The movement for a strong democracy starts with you!
