Game 2 of Harris County “All-Pro” Voter Registration Drive - Kingwood

As the hometown Texans play their nationally televised Monday Night Football game against the Minnesota Vikings, they will also take their turn as the second of Houston’s professional sports team to host a voter registration drive this year in cooperation with the Harris County Tax Office. 

“We are going on offense in our drive to raise awareness and register every eligible citizen in Harris County,” Tax Assessor-Collector and Voter Registrar Leo Vasquez explained. “The Texans fight for every yard on the field, and we appreciate their support of our efforts to get across our voter registration goal line.”

The Harris County voter registration team will have a table set up in Budweiser Plaza, at the south end of Reliant Stadium, throughout the game against the Minnesota Vikings.

“We’re happy to assist our fans in exercising their constitutional right to vote,” said Texans President Jamey Rootes.

The Houston Astros were the first of the local professional teams to participate, hosting Vasquez’s voter registration team on August 7th. On Saturday, September 19th, the voter registration team will be at the Houston Dynamo’s match with Real Salt Lake. The Rockets are looking at a home date in January 2010 for their voter registration game day.
