Youth Voter Engagement is a big focus for us as we head towards the November General Election! We had a wonderful time presenting to GenHTX today and getting inspiration from the amazing work other orgs are doing in Houston π€πΌπ€πΎ #lwvhouston #houstonvoter #harrisvotes
When John Whitmire became Houston mayor, he vacated his office as the District 15 State Senator. A special election is being held May 4th to fill SD15 for the remainder of the term. Simultaneously, like other state senate races, candidates are running to be elected to SD15 for the next term. On May 28th, the Democratic Primary Runoff Election will decide who will be on the ballot in the November General Election. Make sense? π #lwvhouston #houstonvoter #sd15 #mollycook #jarvisjohnson #txlege

Thank you Mr. Hollins for recognizing our League President, Claudia Ortega Hogue! There is no shortage of people in Houston who love and appreciate Claudia, and we are so incredibly proud to have her as the first Latina leading the Houston League.

#OnThisDay in 1870, the 15th Amendment, which granted Black men the right to vote, was ratified. Unfortunately, Southern states continued to disenfranchise Black voters through the use of poll taxes, literacy tests, threats of physical harm, etc. Therefore, the promise of the 15th Amendment was not fully realized until the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965–almost a century later. #BlackHistoryMonth

Once you vote in a party's primary election or runoff, you are "affiliated" with that party for the rest of the calendar year. Affiliation always expires at the end of the year, and you establish affiliation by voting in a primary, taking a party oath, or signing a candidate's petition to be placed on a party's primary ballot.

MLK’s powerful words resonate louder than ever as we find ourselves standing in yet again “one of the most momentous times in human history.”
During “days of emotional tension, when the problems of the world are gigantic in extent and chaotic in detail,” we must remember that we all have a part to play in building the democracy of our dreams. And it starts with voting.
One of the most consequential elections in history is around the corner. Make sure you’re prepared to make your voice heard: VoteRiders.org/staterules
