With Election Day approaching on November 5th, Wharton County Elections Administrator Cindy Richter assures voters the county is ready. While Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sues Bexar County over concerns about unregistered voter outreach, Richter clarifies that Wharton County uses strict processes. Registration forms come from the Department of Public Safety or are handled by vetted volunteers. The county’s website provides voter registration and mail-in ballot applications. Additional voting regulations passed in ’21 aim to prevent fraud, though voter fraud in Texas remains rare. The deadline to register is October 7th.
