Voting power begins with a plan. Vote With HB, presented by Harrison Barnes and LIVE FREE USA, gives Texas voters a direct, trusted path from intention to action.
The nonpartisan initiative is designed around four practical steps: register to vote, check your registration, create an election reminder, and look up your ballot. Each step connects voters to trusted Vote.org tools so they can complete the process with accurate information and fewer barriers.
A Simple Four-Step Voting Plan
That clarity matters. Voters are often asked to participate in democracy while navigating deadlines, registration questions, ballot rules, and conflicting information. Vote With HB organizes the essential actions in one place and encourages people to complete them before Election Day pressure begins.
Harrison Barnes brings a powerful platform to the effort. The professional basketball player and community leader has used his visibility to support education, opportunity, and civic life. Through Vote With HB, that platform becomes an invitation: make your plan, help someone else make theirs, and treat participation as a shared community responsibility.
First, Texans can start or update voter registration. Second, they can verify that registration is active and accurate. Third, they can choose election reminders so an important date does not pass unnoticed. Fourth, they can review the candidates and measures expected to appear on the ballot.
The official Texas voter toolkit highlights the 2026 general-election timeline: the voter-registration deadline is October 5; early voting runs October 19 through October 30; mail-ballot applications must be received by October 23; and Election Day is November 3, with polls scheduled from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Voters should confirm current rules through official Texas election sources.
From Individual Ballots to Collective Power
Vote With HB is part of LIVE FREE’s broader commitment to civic participation and community power. Across the network, congregations, organizers, and community leaders help people move from concern to participation and from participation to leadership. Voter engagement is not a one-day transaction. It is part of building communities that can hold institutions accountable and shape decisions about safety, schools, housing, opportunity, and justice.
The initiative also reflects the larger LIVE FREE. LOVE FREE. movement, engaging nearly 300,000 people and organizing 1,000 congregations nationwide. Its goal is to defend democracy through relationships, disciplined public action, and faith-rooted organizing.
Vote With HB makes that national vision concrete for Texas. A voter who checks a registration today is more prepared tomorrow. A family that reviews a ballot together builds civic knowledge. A congregation that helps members make voting plans strengthens a culture of participation.
The message is direct: check, plan, vote—and bring your community with you. That is how individual ballots become collective power.
