Oct. 11 is the last day to register to vote in next month�s presidential election.

An estimated 15 million Texas voters will be�eligible to vote this November,�thanks to a recent surge in registrations, but the Texas voting age population is 19.3 million, which means a large portion of the population is�still unregistered. Thankfully, registering to vote in Texas is relatively quick and painless, and you can still get your registration in before Tuesday�s�deadline.

VoteTexas.gov�has the most extensive collection of voting information in the state, providing details on everything from�how to vote to�your rights as a registered voter.

There are several ways to register to vote, so choose the one most convenient for�you:

Register in person at your county voter registrar�s office (search for offices by county here). Pick up an application from your county voter registrar�s office or a local library, government office or high school,�fill it out, then mail it�to your county voter registrar�s office or drop it off in person. Fill out a voter registration application online, print it and mail it to your county voter registrar�s office.

Once you�re all registered and ready to vote, make sure you bring proper identification on Nov. 8 (or during the Oct. 24-Nov. 4 early voting period). Voter ID laws are a little complex�and have caused some controversy across the country, including in Texas, but you�can find a list of acceptable forms of photo ID and supporting ways to verify your identity here.

If you can�t physically make it to the polls in your home county, there are also options for you to vote by mail under special circumstances. If you�re 65 years or older, disabled, in jail or out of the county on election day, you can fill out an application for ballot by mail.
