We are a nonpartisan political organization serving Harris County by encouraging everyone to participate in the civic life of our community.

Our trusted, non-partisan outreach works to encourage active and informed participation in government and to increase understanding of major public policy issues. We sponsor candidate debates and forums, town-hall style seminars on important public issues, voter registration drives, election information outreach, and of course our fabeled Voters Guide to the Election and the Candidates. We never endorse or oppose any candidate or political party. And we've been at it since 1920!

What happens when three women in the same political party see its future very differently?

The Life of the Party follows three Republican women in Texas as they navigate leadership, political identity, and a changing political landscape. Their stories open the door to a much bigger conversation about the differences that can exist even within the same political party.

Join us for a special Houston screening followed by a panel discussion about women, leadership, politics, and finding ways to talk to each other across political differences.

Event details:
Monday, September 28
Doors open at 6:30 PM
Program begins at 7 PM at the MATCH Theater

Get your tickets and bring someone you’d like to have this conversation with.

A Texas DPS error kept some voter registrations and address updates from reaching county election offices. If you used the DPS online portal in the past year, swipe for what to do. 👉

Your county voter registrar is processing these records, so the county’s lookup is the most accurate place to check. Harris County: hctax.net/Voter/SearchFL. Outside Harris County, find your registrar at VoteTexas.gov. Not showing yet? Counties are working through a backlog, so check again before Oct. 5. Links in our Bio

The Texas Secretary of State has confirmed that DPS registrations submitted on or before the Oct. 5 deadline count for the Nov. 3 election. Your registration counts from the date of your DPS transaction, even if the county processes it later.

Not showing up on your county’s lookup? Don’t wait. Before the Oct. 5 deadline, fill out a paper voter registration application with LWV Houston or the Harris County Tax Office.

With the deadline close, hand-delivering your application is the safest option. You can drop off a signed paper application at the downtown Harris County Tax Office (1001 Preston St.) or any branch. All locations are listed at hctax.net. Tax Offices are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 8 AM–4:30 PM, and are closed Wednesdays. If you’re mailing it, send it right away so it’s received by Oct. 5: Annette Ramirez, Tax Assessor-Collector & Voter Registrar, P.O. Box 3527, Houston, TX 77253-3527.

If you’re still not on the rolls when you vote, don’t leave. Ask for a provisional ballot. Election officials can verify your DPS transaction, and your vote will be counted.

Have questions about your registration? Call the League of Women Voters of Houston at 713-784-2923.

You can also reach Election Protection’s free, nonpartisan hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE or the Harris County Tax Office voter registration line at 713-274-8000.

Lines may be busy, so please be patient. Share this with anyone who registered through DPS.

🚨 Mark your calendar: October 5 is the deadline to register or update your voter registration ahead of the November 3 election.

Not sure what your status means? There are three:
✅Active: You’re all set to Vote in Nov!
⚠️Suspense: Likely your county needs to confirm your address
‼️Not Found: no record on file, you’ll need to register BEFORE OCT 5TH

If you’re on the suspense list, don’t panic! It doesn’t mean you’ve been removed. It usually just means a mailed registration card came back undeliverable, and you can still vote if you update your address before Oct. 5.

Here’s how to fix it:
➡️Check your status with Harris County or your local county — Find your county office at Houstonvotersguide.org/elections-directory
➡️Check your status on the site wide Texas SOS site
➡️Update your address or register online before the OCT 5TH deadline

Moved outside Harris County?
You’ll need to re-register with your new county by Oct. 5.

If you’re still in suspense on Election Day, you can fill out a “Statement of Residence” at the polls, and you can still vote!

Questions about your registration or status? Call the Harris County Voter Registrar at 713-274-8200, or reach out to LWVH at 713-784-2923. We’re nonpartisan and here to help everyone get ready to vote! 🗳️

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸

Today we celebrate the workers who keep Houston running. It’s also a great reminder: civic participation, like voting, is one more way we all have a voice in shaping our community.

Enjoy the day, and don’t forget to check your voter registration before the next election. 🗳️

Links to register and check your voter registration status is in our bio.

Feliz Día del Trabajo!🇺🇸

Hoy celebramos a los trabajadores que mantienen a Houston en marcha. También es un buen recordatorio: la participación cívica, como votar, es otra forma en que todos tenemos voz en la construcción de nuestra comunidad.

Disfruten el día, y no olviden verificar su registro de votante antes de la próxima elección. 🗳️

Take 30 seconds today and check your voter registration. Seriously! Check yours now! 📲

Two places, both official, both free:
→ Harris County Tax Office: hctax.net/Voter/SearchFL
→ Texas Secretary of State’s “Am I Registered?” portal

You’ll need your name and date of birth, your driver’s license number, or the VUID from your voter registration certificate.

Here’s what you might see:

ACTIVE ✅ You’re set. While you’re there, make sure the address on file is where you actually live now.

IN SUSPENSE ⚠️ Don’t panic. You are still registered and you can still vote. It means your registrar isn’t certain your address is current — usually because a registration certificate or jury summons came back undeliverable. Texas mails new certificates every two years, so an old address is the most common cause. More than 1.2 million Texans are on this list right now. If you still live at the same address, you can confirm it at the polls with a Statement of Residence. If you moved, be sure to update before Oct 5.

NO RECORD FOUND ❓ Try searching a different way first; name, driver’s license, and VUID each pull different matches. Still nothing? Save time by re-registering.

All voter registration applications have to be printed, signed, and mailed or hand-delivered to the county Tax Office.

🗓️ OCTOBER 5 is the deadline! Voter registrations must be received by the Tax Office to be eligible to vote in the November 3 election.

Questions about your Harris County status?
Call 713-274-8200. Support is available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Chinese.

Americans fought for centuries to expand the right to vote to all citizens. Use it. 🗳️

Save this. Send it to one person who hasn’t checked yet.
