John B. Scott, Texas Secretary of State

AUSTIN (News Release) – On National Voter Registration Day, Texas Secretary of State John Scott held a press conference at the Conley-Guerrero Senior Activity Center in East Austin to highlight the office's “VoteReady” voter education campaign. “VoteReady” is a statewide campaign to educate Texans about ID requirements for voting in Texas, as well as ID requirements for those who are eligible to vote by mail. Components of the “VoteReady” campaign include: a grassroots outreach tour, paid TV, radio, out-of-home and digital advertisements, as well as social media content and community partnerships to help spread the campaign's educational materials in both English and Spanish.

“I want to ensure that all Texans are informed, prepared and ready to make their voices heard,” said Secretary Scott.

“Regardless of how you vote - whether it's in person or by mail - you have to identify yourself when you vote in Texas. Today, we are working to make sure that all eligible Texas voters understand the ID requirements so they can vote successfully and easily in the upcoming November General Election."
