Identify [Your County’s] Website
Just search:
“[Your County Name] elections office” or “county clerk”
They often have info on:
- Voting districts
- Voting Precinct & Voting Poll Locations
- City officials
Identify [Your City’s] Website
Search for:
“[Your City Name] city government” or “[Your City Name] city council”
(e.g. “Beaumont Texas city council”)
Most city websites have a “Government” or “City Council” tab that lists:
- Contact Information
- District Maps
- Mayor and Council Member Names
- Meeting Agenda & Minutes
Tips for Contacting Your Reps
- Call, email, or mail a letter.
Calls often have the most impact. Staffers tally every call and email.
- Be clear and respectful.
You don’t have to agree on everything, but courtesy matters.
- Say you’re a constituent.
Mentioning your city or zip code shows you’re in their district.
- Keep it brief.
2–3 sentences is perfect. Share your position and what you’d like them to do.
- Follow up.
If you don’t hear back, it’s okay to reach out again.
