Cascos<\/span> announced <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span> has more than 15 million registered voters, an all-time high number for the state.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you want to vote you must be registered, so it&#8217;s good to see that so many Texans are preparing for this November&#8217;s election,&#8221; said Cascos.<\/p>\n<p>As of this morning, the number of registered voters is 15,015,700. This is about 78 percent of <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas&#8217;<\/span> estimated voting age population of 19,307,355. Voting age population estimates include Texans who may not be eligible to vote such as non-citizens or convicted felons who have not yet fully discharged their sentence.<\/p>\n<p>The last day to register in time for the <span class=\"xn-chron\">November 8<\/span> Election was <span class=\"xn-chron\">October 11<\/span>. Today&#8217;s number represents a preliminary estimate of the number of voters who will be registered for the election. The number will likely increase a bit as last-minute applications continue to be processed during the next few days.<\/p>\n<p>In the last presidential election year, <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span> had 13,646,226 registered voters or 75 percent of voting age population. In 2008, the number was 13,575,062 or roughly 77 percent of the voting age population.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, ahead of the 2016 primaries in March, <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span> had 14,238,436 or 74 percent of estimated voting age population.<\/p>\n<p>Following the registration deadline, Secretary Cascos will continue to emphasize what registered Texans will need to do to cast a ballot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Registration is just the first step,&#8221; said Secretary Cascos. &#8220;I encourage Texans to prepare now for this fall&#8217;s election.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The last day to request a ballot by mail is <span class=\"xn-chron\">Oct. 28<\/span>. Early voting in person begins <span class=\"xn-chron\">Oct. 24<\/span> and runs through <span class=\"xn-chron\">November 4<\/span>.
