Get Ready to Vote  

  • General Election:  Tuesday, November 5
  • Last day to register to vote: Monday, October 7
  • Early voting: Monday, October 21 – Friday, November 1
  • Voting by Mail Ballot Application must be received by Friday, October 25

Am I registered?  

If someone you know or you has not voted in the past two elections, you may have been removed from the rolls. If you have, you have to go back in and become registered once again. This has happened to people who have lived in the same house for over twenty years. They have never moved, nothing has changed in their lives, yet they got removed from the registered voter rolls.

Go to vote.texas.gov to check if you are registered!

Who Represents Me?  

Go to  wrm.capitol.texas.gov to see who represents you!

Zoom Reimbursement available for branches

Member Services Database moved to the Community Hub

The Community Hub completely replaced numerous legacy systems that had AAUW’s systems in 20 years: do everything

  •  A key design driver was addressing privacy laws and privacy concerns (eg, branch officers can no longer see member donations to AAUW)
  •  Another key design driver was better mobile accessibility. If you’ve logged in, you’ve seen that many of the displays are narrow, making them easier to read on a smartphone; no app is required
  •  As implied by its name, the Community Hub is intended to be used by all members to manage their own affiliations with AAUW
