Voter Registration Skyrockets in Texas


Frank Mann, a family law attorney, runs a private practice in Houston, Texas. His practice focuses on cases involving divorce, child custody, changing prior court orders and other aspects of family law. In addition to his work as an attorney, Frank Mann maintains an interest in Houston and state politics. 

Texan voters are making history in 2016. Election officials are reporting a notable rise in voter registration as voters gear up for an interesting presidential election. Bexar County recently reported that it had more than one million registered voters, a first for the county of less than two million residents. Thus, it is the fourth county in Texas to hit the one million milestone, putting it right behind Harris, Dallas, and Tarrant Counties. 

Election officials generally expect a surge in registrations in the weeks leading up to a major vote, but these registrations flooded in during the typically slow months of July and August. It is likely that the influx is partially due to various organizations registering citizens to vote ahead of the upcoming presidential election.
