EMPOWERING HOUSTONIANS TO USE THEIR VOICE

What is a Volunteer Deputy Voter Registrar?

In order to encourage voter registration, Texas election law provides for County Voter Registrars to designate individuals to assist in the registration of eligible persons to vote. These individuals are appointed as Volunteer Deputy Registrars and operate under State rules and the supervision of the County Voter Registrar.

Becoming a VDVR is a meaningful way to contribute to the democratic process and civic engagement. By registering voters, you ensure that more voices are heard in elections, promoting a diverse and representative democracy.

To be eligible to serve as a Volunteer Deputy Voter Registrar, you MUST be:

at least 18 years of age

a citizen of the United States

a resident of Texas
