Our Mission:

Research state election administration practices and the voter impacts to find solutions to broaden voter participation.

Key Focus Areas:

  • What are the impacts to voters from federal and state Voter List Maintenance election bills and laws;
  • How do we change the system to improve voter engagement; and
  • What information do organizations and voters need to help keep their voter status?

Check out the video below from Meagan Harris - she talks about the November 2024 Presidential election, but the information is SO IMPORTANT for voters across the country to know before ANY ELECTION!

And take a look at our current articles on election practices and voter impacts published on our Substack — they provide important context on how voter registration systems are managed, how administrative practices influence participation, and what these patterns mean for turnout and civic engagement in Texas and nationwide.

What About the Tuesday, November 3, 2026 Midterm Election?

Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

You must register to vote by Monday, October 5. Make a plan to vote and vote early!

Early voting starts on Monday, October 19 and ends on Friday, October 30.

Go to your County Elections website to check your registration status and to see a list of the proposed constitutional amendments. Check that your registration is in Active status. If you are in Suspense status, you can update your voter address online. You can still vote if you are in Suspense status, but it's quick to update your voter record online.

Why Research Election Bill Voter Impacts?

1. Multi-millions of Texans could be impacted by changes to election administration and voter list maintenance practices.

2. The public and elected officials should understand the consequences of the bill on the ability of Texans to vote.

3. Voter impacts are required to provide state funding for resources for implementation and voter education.

4. Documented research on impacts to Texans by district can become part of the legislative record and used in future court cases.
