The deadline to vote in November's general election is fast approaching. To make the Oct. 11 deadline, Fort Bend County residents can fill out the voter registration form online, then print and mail it in. Residents can also request a postage-paid registration form from the state. Once sent, it takes 30 days for voter registration to become effective, according to the county voter registrar.
