Texas Democratic Party Offers a Voter ID Course

This training course covers all of the currently acceptable forms of identification for voting in Texas and the procedures that must be followed depending on the type of identification presented and other factors. This course is useful for anyone who might be answering questions from voters this election season: election workers, poll watchers, campaign staff, deputy voter registrars, or simply friends and family. It takes approximately 1 hour to complete.
Feel free to share the
link to the Voter ID course
with anyone who might be interested in learning more about the current requirements. There is an assessment at the end of the course that our Voter Protection team members are required to complete. Participants who are not VoPro team members do not have to take the assessment (
