If any of you are interested in being deputy voter registrars, there are some online classes this week you can attend. They are an hour long and you can set yourself up as a DVR in whatever county you reside, or possibly more. Pretty painless. The Monday and Tuesday classes were scratched due to weather.
We’re recruiting folks from across Texas to get trained as a Volunteer Deputy Registrar (VDR) so you can help register voters in Texas. Can you sign up today to become a VDR to help strengthen our democracy?
In case this is your first time, or you need a refresher, here are the steps to becoming a certified VDR in your home county:
Regardless of where you live in Texas, attend a virtual training run by Harris or Travis County by signing up here.
After completing the training, you’ll receive a certificate via email.
If you live in the county you trained in, you’re all set and can begin to register folks in your community.
If you don’t live in the county that ran the training, our team will send you an email and help you get the final steps you need to register voters where you live. If you’d like to reach out to us directly, you can send an email to VDR@betoorourke.com.
Texas is the most voter suppressed state in the county – and one of the ways they suppress our vote is by making it so complicated to register new voters. So when you get trained as a VDR, you are helping fight back against the barriers that stop so many of our fellow Texans from voting.
So please, sign up for a VDR training today – even if you don’t live in Harris or Travis County! – to get trained to register voters.
