Today is Primary Election Day in Texas, and it’s also Super Tuesday—the day when the largest number of states and territories will hold a presidential preference primary or caucus. Join your fellow Texans and Americans by getting out to vote!

Remember that voting is the single most important way to ensure Texas will have pro-public education legislators working in the best interest of you and your students. On TeachtheVote.org, your ATPE lobby team broke down why March 3 matters so much in Texas. Read part one and part two.

Find information on voting, including your polling location, via the Texas Secretary of State’s My Voter Page. You can also contact your county clerk. For more information about the election, including sample ballots and what you need to bring with you to the polls, visit votetexas.gov.
