How to check whether you are registered to vote

How do you know if you are registered to vote?

First, you should have received a Voter Registration Certificate in the mail. This year, the card is an obnoxious orange color, unless you are a UT grad in which case it is the most beautiful orange you have ever seen.

Don't have a card like that? You can check on the internet to see if your registration is active. Here is the link for Fort Bend County: Voter Database Search. If you go to the bottom of the page, you don't have to give your date of birth.

If your search comes up empty, you may be registered in a different county. Try this link to the Secretary of State: Texas Voter Frequently Asked Questions

In summary, if you find that you are registered to vote in Fort Bend County but don't have the obnoxious orange card, don't worry. You can still vote by showing your Driver's License, if the poll worker finds your name on the list. You can vote early at ANY Early Voting location in the county, but on Election Day you can only vote in your home Precinct.
