The primary election is now less than four weeks away and those wanting to vote are encouraged to register early if they have not already done so.
Dallas County Auditor and Elections Commissioner Gene Krumm says residents need to be registered in order to vote and though you can do so on election day, he encourages everyone to register before May 27th to avoid needing extra paperwork on election day.
In order to register on June 7th, voters need to show proof of identity through a document such as a driver’s license, passport or ID issued by an employer, school or the military. Proof of residency is also needed, which can be accomplished with a property tax statement, utility bill, bank statement, paycheck or other government document.
The auditor’s office is open weekdays from 8am until 4:30pm Monday through Friday.
