Become a Volunteer Deputy Registrar!

Dallas County invites individuals to join its Volunteer Deputy Registrar (VDR) Program to support voter registration. VDRs play a crucial role by helping people officially register to vote. Learn more about the qualifications, duties, and procedures of becoming a VDR here. 
 
There are multiple upcoming VDR training sessions in August and September. You can sign up for one here.
 

Spanish is a huge asset for voter engagement!

Are you a LWV member or voter services volunteer who speaks Spanish and would like to become a Volunteer Deputy Registrar (VDR)?   We want your help to increase Latino voter registration and turnout. Norma Arratia is coordinating with Dallas County Elections to create a VDR training in Spanish over the summer.  If you are fluent in Spanish please reach out to Norma at narratia227@gmail.com if you are interested in the Spanish VDR training.

Do's and Dont's of Election Misinformation

LWV developed a one-pager on the do's and don'ts of election disinformation! A PDF version and a Spanish language version are available to download here.

Support the City Amendment for Voters to Consider Election Consolidation!

 

The City Council decided to push back their City Charter Amendment vote until August 14th. One of the amendments, proposed by City Councilperson Chad West (District 1), is to consolidate municipal elections from May to November of odd-numbered years. Consolidating our elections will limit voter fatigue and confusion, and is beneficial in cost. Contact your City Councilperson ahead of that date and voice your support for the amendment proposed to consolidate our elections. If the amendment is approved on August 14th, it would go to the voters for final say this November.
