If you register to vote "before" you register as a qualified elector in a local government election precinct then your "vote" in meaningless as you are not yet "in" the Union (United States). It is unconstitutional for the local government election precincts to not be evenly populated, thus making your County Commissioner district the election precinct to register as a qualified elector, instead of the "township". AVERY v. MIDLAND COUNTY ET AL. Held: Local units with general governmental powers over an entire geographic area may not, consistently with the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, be apportioned among single member districts of substantially unequal population (a) The Equal Protection Clause reaches the exercise of state power, whether exercised by the State or a political subdivision. P. 390 U. S. 479. (b) Although the state legislature may itself be properly apportioned, the Fourteenth Amendment requires that citizens not be denied equal representation in political subdivisions which also have broad policymaking functions. P. 390 U. S. 481. (c) The commissioners court performs some functions normally thought of as "legislative," and others typically characterized in other terms; but, regardless of the labels, this body has the power to make a large number of decisions having a broad impact on all the citizens of the county. Pp. 390 U. S. 482-483.
