Gov. Greg Abbott has launched a new app that helps conservatives identify Republican contacts in their phone who haven’t voted. It also allows users to send reminders and share voting prompts on social media, the governor’s office announced last week.
Abbott unveiled the Abbott Impact app — now available on the Apple App Store and Google Play — during his keynote address at the Texas Federation of Republican Women Awards Luncheon.
The app aims to boost Republican voter turnout ahead of the November 2026 election.
“Key tool” for 2026 election
“This will be one of our key tools this election to ensure that Texas remains bright red,” Abbott said.
Abbott emphasized the importance of grassroots efforts as Democrats plan to invest heavily in flipping Texas in 2026.
