Tarrant County Commissioners Court votes to keep early voting polling sites on college campuses.

The push to limit the voting locations was led by Judge Tim O’Hare, a Republican and the chief elected official of the county.

Democrats on the commissioners' court and local voting rights advocates called the effort an attempt at voter suppression targeted at people of color and younger voters.

The deadline to register to vote and/or change your voter registration address is Oct. 7 .

You can check to see if you’re registered and verify your information through the Texas Secretary of State ’s website.

Early voting will run from Oct. 21 to Nov. 1 .
