Today last day to register to vote

Today, Oct. 9, is the last day to register to vote in the state of Texas. If you are not registered by today, you will not be able to vote in the midterm election next month.

You can register to vote by-mail or in person at a local election office. In Stephens County, this is at the County Courthouse at 200 West Walker, Breckenridge, Texas, 76424. The courthouse is open until 5 p.m.

In order to successfully register, you must show photo identification. This is also something you will need at the ballot next month.

If you are not a resident of Stephens County, you can find where your local election is on the Texas Secretary of State's website.
