There are 134,000 people incarcerated in Texas state prisons, including 175 on death row.
Convicted felons who are actively appealing their convictions can legally cast a ballot, even if they’re currently behind bars.
The deadline to be registered is Oct. 7 ; Election Day is Nov. 5 .
Nearly 50,000 of the state’s current prison population were charged in one of four counties.
It's unclear how many of them are in direct appeals.
The main reason incarcerated people may not be voting is probably because they don’t know they can.
Fear is another roadblock to voting.
