What are Volunteer Deputy Voter Registrars?

 People who are certified as Volunteer Deputy Registrar (VDR)

• VDRs are certified by a county to register voters in the county where the voter lives.

• VDRs can be certified as VDRs in more than one county.

• Many VDRs registering voters in Galveston County are deputized in Harris, Brazoria, and Fort Bend Counties. Some may even be deputized in Travis County, as Travis County offers online Zoom classes, which makes it easier for busy people who may not be able to go in person to every county office

• Volunteer Deputy Registrars (VDRs) partner with County Voter Registrars, assisting citizens in registering to vote and educating them on the importance of voting. A high level of ethical conduct is required to be a VDR as you protect applicants' right to vote.
