I’m not sure whether I registered to vote. How do I check?

You can check your voter registration status through the Texas Secretary of State’s website or your county elections office:

Can I still vote if I have not registered?

No. Texas required voters to register by May 16 to vote this election. Unlike Texas, 22 states and Washington, D.C,. allow same-day registration, which permit eligible residents to vote and register and cast a ballot at the same time.

What do I need to vote?

Voters will need one acceptable form of ID. This includes a Texas identification card, Texas driver’s license, state handgun license, U.S. passport, U.S. military ID with photograph or U.S. citizenship certification with photograph.

Can I vote by mail?

Applications to request a mail-in ballot are due June 4. Mail ballots must be postmarked by 7 p.m. on June 15 (election day) and must be received by the county by June 17. They can also be delivered in person to polling places on election day.

Texas does not have no-excuse mail voting. Voters must meet have at least one of the following criteria to vote by mail:

be 65 years or older
be sick or disabled
be out of the county on election day and during the period for in-person early voting
be expected to give birth within three weeks before or after Election Day
be confined in jail, but otherwise eligible

When and where do I vote early?

It depends on which county you live in. Voters can cast ballots at any early voting location in their county.
