Texas has 18.6 million registered voters

Austin—Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson announced that Texas has 18,623,931 registered voters ahead the Nov. 5 election. 

“This is a record number and is on target considering population growth and the increased interest around presidential elections,” Nelson said.  

The 2024 number is 5 percent higher than the November 2022 number of 17,672,143.   

The last day to register in time for the Nov. 5 election was Oct. 7. 

As in previous years, the Office of the Secretary of State conducted a statewide voter education campaign to help make sure Texans understand how to register, important election deadlines, and how to prepare for the polls.  

Early voting in person begins Monday, Oct. 21 and ends Nov. 1. During early voting, Texans may vote at any polling location in their county of registration. For polling locations and what ID to bring to polls, visit VoteTexas.gov, the state’s official online voting resource.
