In Tarrant County, voter registration is no longer allowed inside county buildings.
Voter registration drives are ramping up with less than six weeks until early voting begins for the November election, but the drives will no longer be allowed in Tarrant County buildings like courthouses and tax offices.Following a Thursday County Commission vote, it is now forbidden for trained and certified volunteer deputy registrars to get people registered to vote inside a county building.
"I really urge you to please continue to allow volunteer deputy registrars like myself to do our non-partisan business inside the air conditioning rather than outside. I’m 74 years old. I served a shift a while back of six hours. In the hot sun of 100 degrees and it kind of got to me," said Daniel Taylor.The measure to ban VDRs from registering people inside a county building passed by a 4 to 1 vote.The vote came after a series of actions on the matter.
