Show Texas that educators care enough to vote.

A. Why vote in the primary?
1.      Create a culture of voting by voting in every election.
2.      Be the voice for your profession by being an informed voter.
3.      Stand up for your students who don’t get to cast a ballot.

B. Did you know?
1.      98% of 2016 Texas elections were determined in the primaries because of how districts are drawn.
2.      Voter turnout in primaries historically has been very low (10% or less) so a few voters have been deciding your leaders.
3.      Your vote could determine the future of public education in Texas.

C. How do I learn about candidates, pick a primary, and figure out where to vote?
1.      The League of Women Voters’ http://www.vote411.org/ will help you build your ballot, research candidates, and find your voting location.
2.      Vote based on party preference, or vote strategically. It’s up to you in open primary states like Texas!

Whatever you do, VOTE!
