Stand Up for Democracy!

Register and Vote!

Text Box: Feedback Headlines Home Page

A simple way to register is to click on http://www.dalcoelections.org/registration.html then download the Texas voter registration form. Print it, fill it out, and mail. The new rules require your Texas drivers’ license number or the last four digits of your Social Security, even if you are using the old application card that says it’s optional.

 

To vote in the March 9 Texas primaries, new registrations have to be in the mail by February 9.

 

You may need to register:

v    If you have moved

v    If you have not voted for 790 days

v    If you recently aged to 17 years and 10 months

v    If you have been convicted of a felony, but have finished parole/probation

 

Americans are concerned

Record turnout in early primaries indicates that many Americans are working to maintain our democratic rights. In Dallas, a highly successful coalition is registering voters. It is led by Bob and Linda Lydia of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and reaches all areas of the county. If you want to help them register voters, click here.

 

If you need more registration cards than are at the hall, go to:

 

Dallas County Elections Department, 8th floor

Dallas County Health and Human Resources Bldg.

2377 N. Stemmons Fwy. Suite 820

Dallas, Texas 75207

 

The building is just South of the Motor Street exit on Highway 35 (Stemmons).

 

The new application cards demand a Texas drivers’ license number or the last four digits of a Social Security number. They have a pocket that people can use to provide proof of their identification. If the proof is not in the pocket, voters will be required to show drivers’ license or other identification at the polls.

 

Application cards are mailed, postage free, to the county courthouse. Activists working to register voters in North Texas will need to know the zip codes of the County Courthouses in surrounding counties. Here are some of them:

 

Collin          75074

 

Dallas          75207

 

Denton                  76202

 

Ellis                       75168

 

Henderson             75751

 

Johnson                76033

 

Kaufman               75751

 

Tarrant                  76102

 

Tyler                     75979

 

Wise                     76234

 

Americans are concerned about Democracy because of such developments as the more difficult registration requirements, the 2000 elections in Florida, the Texas redistricting, the effort to stop Prairie View College students from voting, and/or new “touch screen” voting machines that leave no paper trail. You can fight by joining millions of other Americans in this 2004 voting effort.
