TO: HONORABLE MAYOR FICKES AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: Sandra L. LeGrand, City Secretary
SUBJECT: VOTE 190, A campaign To Encourage Texans to Vote
Mayor Fickes received a letter from Secretary of State,
George S. Bayoud, Jr., as Texas' Chief Elections Officer,
encouraging all Texans to participate in the electoral
process by voting. His office has launched VOTE 190, a
non-partisan, statewide voter registration/education
campaign.
He states, during the first phase of VOTE 190, registration
and turnout in the primary elections reached record highs.
But, despite the success, there remains nearly 4 million
eligible Texans who are not registered to vote.
The Secretary of State asked that all cities participate in
some way, by encouraging Texans to register to vote.
