Have you ever wondered how many people VOTE in Bellaire Elections?

As we grow up in school, we are told how voting is very important and in the last few years there has been a major push to register voters.  There is RocktheVote reaching out to the younger crowd and ProjectVote.org that works to mobilize marginalized and under-represented voters.

If anything comes from my running for City Council I hope it is this: People learn that every vote actually matters.

In 2013, Bellaire, Texas population was 17,849  There are currently 12,186 registered voters, as of August 28th 2015.

 

I pulled some unofficial date from the 2013 Bellaire General Election.
