Interested in
casting your vote early for the upcoming General Election? If so, the early
voting process in Texas starts Monday, October 22, and runs through Friday,
November 2.
Whether you
vote on the official November 6 Election Day or beforehand, just be sure you
let your voice be heard. It’s critically important for people who care about
public education to participate in the political process. The people we elect
chart the course for our state, and in the 2013 Legislative Session they’ll do
so facing incredible economic challenges.
Polls show that
Texans support public education, including increased funding for schools.
However, Texas has posted some of the worst voter turnout rates in the country
over the past 10 years. In fact, only 32.3 percent of registered voters in
Texas participated in the 2010 General Election – the lowest in the nation.
Let’s show our
pride in our great state during this election. Don’t miss the opportunity to
have a say in Texas’ future.
