Get Out the Vote · Abbott Impact App
Make a Difference in Texas
The Abbott Impact app matches your contacts to the Texas voter file, shows you which friends have voted during early voting, and lets you send a quick reminder to the ones who haven't. A reminder from a friend is the best way to turn out voters.
Early voting runs through October 30. Election Day is November 3.
- 1.See your ballot. Look up everything you’ll vote on: See your full ballot in Harris County or see your full ballot in Texas.
- 2.Make a plan. Early voting runs October 19 – 30, 2026; Election Day is November 3, 2026. Decide now when and where you’ll vote.
- 3.Bring three. Commit to bringing three people with you — a spouse, a neighbor, an adult child — who might not otherwise make it to the polls.
- 4.Talk to five. Use the talking points on the Save Texas and Save Harris County pages with five people this week: family, coworkers, your church or civic group.
- 5.Volunteer. Sign up as a poll watcher or election worker — every precinct needs eyes on the process. Sign up to become an election worker here.
- 6.Host or join a block walk or watch party. Organized turnout efforts consistently outperform individual ones.
- 7.Share this page. Send it to your network — the more people who see the stakes, the bigger the margin.
