The Texas Department of Public Safety is joining forces with the office of Texas Secretary of State John Steen to bring Texans 25 mobile stations which will provide election identification certificates, or EIC’s.  These EIC mobile stations begin trips across the state on Tuesday, Oct. 1. Locations and hours of operations are posted on gotexas.gov. As already established by law, these EIC’s are free of charge. Steen sees the program as an outreach initiative to reach communities that would otherwise not vote. However, his office hasn’t yet set a goal for the number of voters they hope to reach.
