Kerr County residents who would like to vote in the Nov. 4 Constitutional Amendment Election, but who are not registered to vote have until the Oct. 6 deadline to get properly signed up.

Any Kerr County residents who want to know if they are already registered to vote can find out for certain by visiting: https://www.votetexas.gov/register/index.html. That same site also allows voters to start a voter registration application, as well as to update their voter registration.

Anyone wishing to register to vote in person rather than online may do so at the Kerr County Tax Assessor Collector’s Office/Voter Registration Department, located in Suite 124, on the main entry floor of the Kerr County Courthouse, 700 Main Street in Kerrville.

For additional assistance with voter registration, citizens may call 830-792-2242.
