Please note that Hello Woodlands is an unbiased, nonpartisan news source that does not support just one party or candidate. We believe in providing the community with educational information, credible facts, thoroughly researched topics and articles, and to be a voice for ALL members in our community.

October 11, 2016 is the deadline and LAST DAY to register to vote in Texas for the November 8, 2016 election!

No matter what “side” you are on, what candidate you are voting for or not voting for, are undecided, or just want to avoid this year’s race altogether, we ask that you register to vote. You are important and can make a difference both nationally and locally in the 2016 election.

The ballot not only includes presidential candidates, but also local positions that affect you, your family, and the community. Even if you choose to select a straight-party vote for all republican or democrat candidates, you still will need to go to the bottom of the ballot to make your selection for local candidates as well as vote on important issues in Montgomery County. View a sample ballot here.

Check your voter registration status to see if you are eligible to vote in the November 8, 2016 election here. You will only need your first name, last name, and birth date to discover if you are registered to vote in this election plus receive early voting information, poll location, current representatives, and other voting jurisdictions.
