Registration Deadline Is Tuesday For November Election

NORTH TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Tuesday is the deadline to register to vote in the Nov. 6 general election.

Included on the November ballot is the race for president between incumbent President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Texas voters will determine who will fill the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.

Vying for that seat are Republican Ted Cruz and Democrat Paul Sadler.

Residents can register at their county's election office or download the application from votetexas.gov/registertovote and mail in the application post-marked before Oct. 9.

Voters will then get a voter card in the mail.

Early voting is Oct. 22 through Nov. 2.
