To cast votes for a U.S. senator, governor, state attorney general and dozens of other races during the Nov. 3 midterm election, Texans must ensure they are registered to vote or have submitted an application by Oct. 5.

How it works: To be eligible to register to vote, an individual must:

  • Be at least 18 years old by Election Day

  • Not have been declared mentally incapacitated without the right to vote by a court
