The office of Elections Administrator was created by Commissioner’s Court in 2019 under the Texas Election Code Chapter 31, Subchapter B.

The Elections Administrator is responsible for all federal, state, and county elections. In addition, cities, school districts, and political subdivisions contract with the office to conduct their election.

The office is responsible for all voting equipment owned by Colorado County including testing, maintenance, storage, rental, and transport to voting locations.

The Elections Administrator also serves as the County Voter Registrar, and supervises all voter registration for the county.

The Elections Administrator also serves as the Early Voting Clerk, and serves to accept filings of Campaign Finance, Appointments of Campaign Treasurers, and other filings related to campaign finance.

The Election Administrator has the duty to report certain jury exemptions to the state per Sections 62.108, and 62.001(e) of the Government Code.  This includes permeant exemptions for over 70 years of age, and court ordered exemptions.

 Ways to Register

To register to vote in Texas, simply complete a voter registration application and return it to your county election office at least 30 days before the upcoming election date.  To complete an application, you may:

1. Complete an application using the link below. Simply fill in the required information, print, sign and mail directly to your county election office.
2. Contact or visit your local Colorado County Election's Office to complete the voter registration process.
3. Alternative Methods to Register:
   •  In-County Updates via Texas Online: If a voter has moved within the same county, the voter may update their address online at www.Texas.gov. Voters that are active or in suspense can update their name and/or residence address through this secure website. (See Link Above)
   • Printed Voter Registration Applications: If a voter has access to a printer, the voter can
     use the SOS Informal Online Application to complete a voter registration application. This
     application can be printed and mailed to the applicable county voter registrar. When the voter
     selects their county of residence, it will preprint the county voter registrar’s address on the
     form so that when the voter mails it, they send it directly to their county voter registrar.
   • Postage-Paid Voter Registration Applications: If a voter does not have access to a printer,
     the voter can request that a blank postage-paid voter registration application be mailed directly
     to the voter. The voter can fill out the request form on the SOS website. Counties can also
     mail blank applications to voters upon request.
   •  Revisions to Voter Registration Certificate: If a voter has their current voter registration
     certificate, they may make any necessary corrections or updates to the certificate, sign it and
     return it to the voter registrar.
   • Register2Vote.org: This is a third-party website that provides a remote printing option for voters. Voters can complete a form online and have a pre-filled application sent to them for completion. The voter must complete the form, sign it, and mail it in the included postage-paid envelope. This form is sent directly to the county voter registrar.

You are eligible to register to vote if:
