November\u2019s midterm elections are just around the corner, where voters will cast their ballots for the closely watched U.S. Senate race<\/a> between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton.<\/p>\n You can only vote if you are properly registered. The deadline to register is Monday, Oct. 5<\/a>. Midterm elections take place on Nov. 3.<\/p>\n Even if you voted in primary elections during March and think your voter registration is valid, it is always best to double-check.<\/p>\n Ahead of this election, 1.2 million Texan voters<\/a> were placed on the suspense list<\/a> for mass cancellations. This is normal, and usually happens when a voter\u2019s address is outdated. The suspense list has been a law in Texas since 1995<\/a> to better keep track of voter registration.<\/p>\n During this midterm election, Tarrant County voters are facing 29 percent fewer polling locations<\/a>. Tarrant County is widely known as the largest swing county in Texas, so local voters having their registration squared away is more important than ever.<\/p>\n How to check if you are registered to vote in Texas<\/p>\n To check if you are registered, all you have to do is visit texas.gov.<\/a><\/p>\n From there, go to \u201cCheck if you\u2019re registered.<\/a>\u201d You can choose to check by your voter ID number, Texas driver\u2019s license number, or address.<\/p>\n From there, you can see your voter registration status.
