Frequently Asked Election Questions

What do I need to bring to vote?

With the exception of the U.S. citizenship certificate, the identification must be current or, for voters aged 18-69, have expired no more than 4 years before being presented for voter qualification at the polling place. A person 70 years of age or older may use a form of identification listed below that has expired if the identification is otherwise valid.

  • Texas driver license issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)
  • U.S. military identification card containing the person’s photograph
  • Texas personal identification card issued by DPS

Voters who currently do not have an approved form of photo ID may apply for an Election Identification Certificate (EIC) at no charge with the Texas Department of Public Safety.

What if my name is not on the list of registered voters?

Do not simply leave if you are eligible to vote. Ask an election official to verify your registration information and explain your options.

Depending on the circumstances, you may be eligible to vote a provisional ballot or use another procedure available under Texas election law. Ask the poll worker to give you information explaining the next steps. During Early Voting, you might be able to vote a Limited Ballot.
