Greetings, LWV Community!

It’s time to vote! The 2023 general election is upon us. Early voting began October 23. If you haven’t voted yet, there’s still time. You can vote early through November 3 OR you can vote on Election Day, November 7. Before you go, make the most of League resources! Our website has links to non-partisan explanations for all of the constitutional amendments and local propositions. Locate the polling place closest to you and see when polling places are open on the Williamson County Elections website.

The latest data reported by KXAN show that Williamson County is ahead of the Texas average when it comes to growing the electorate. I’m confident that our League played a big role in this growth! Between August and October of this year, our VDRs registered over 400 voters, and over 70% of those new voters were registered on college or high school campuses. Our Voters Guide team put in countless hours to prepare, edit, and distribute the voters guide. Our texting team sent out hundreds of texts to first time voters as part of our Get Out The Vote effort. 

Our work is only possible because of our incredible volunteers. If you appreciate the work we do, and are not yet volunteering with us, please consider donating some time to us. This month I want to highlight volunteer needs that are especially about our voter registration, education, and turnout efforts:

• We need more help on the texting team;

• We need more help with the voters guide, especially with the primaries looming in the near distance; 

• We need more help on the social media/graphics team to get the word out about what we are doing; and 

• We need as many volunteers as possible—VDRS, organizers, event leads—for our voter registration efforts.

If you are interested in any of these, you can sign up here..

Best wishes to you all!
