About this event

Voter Suppression in TX Banner

Every election cycle, we hear the term “voter suppression.”

But what does that actually mean in Texas?

As we enter another election cycle, understanding this history matters more than ever. Join us for a decade-by-decade look at how Texas voting laws, from poll taxes to modern maps and ID requirements, were challenged in court and sometimes struck down as unlawful.

Featuring presenters Joanne Richards and Kelley Russell-DuVarney, this webinar connects the dots between past and present so we can better protect voting rights today.

Limited to 100 registrants. Zoom link provided after registration. 

Date and Time

Thursday, February 19, 2026, 7:30 PM until 9:00 PM
Videoconference information will be provided in an email once registration is complete.
