The University of Texas at San Antonio, or UTSA, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the reopening of the Institute of Texan Cultures, or ITC, at its new location in the Frost Tower on Jan. 28.

The details: The ITC was established in 1965 to highlight the rich tapestry of Texan cultures during Hemisfair in 1968. Afterwards, the ITC became a permanent center dedicated to researching the history of the people of Texas. In 1973, ITC became a part of the newly formed University of Texas at San Antonio, according to the ITC website.

The new location will showcase the variety of Texan cultures and host rotating exhibits that focus on different aspects of Texas’ unique heritage.

The March 3 primary election is coming up, and so is the deadline to register to vote. Eligible Texans must register by Feb. 2 to cast votes in dozens of races, including 18 statewide officials, 38 members of Congress, 166 state legislators and various local seats, such as county judges and commissioners.

How to register: Texans must submit a paper voter registration application by Feb. 2. Applications can be mailed to their county elections office or delivered in-person.

To avoid delivery delays under new federal postmark rules, prospective voters may requests that mailed applications be hand-stamped at a local post office.

The big picture: Texas holds primaries for partisan elected positions at the federal, state, regional and local levels. Republican and Democratic primary voters will have a say in which candidates will represent their chosen political party on the November ballot, shaping who is ultimately elected to each seat.

In recent years, no more than one-fourth of registered Texas voters have cast ballots in primary elections, state data shows.
