WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING

Change your mind? Go to the polling site (bring your ballot and the envelope it came in if you have it) and ask the poll worker to cancel your mail ballot. Then vote as you would regularly.

If someone helps you fill out the form, they are required by law to sign the affirmation statement on the ballot.

If the ballot is delivered to the election office, it must be in a sealed envelope and only the voter or the person who helped fill it out can deliver it. Poll workers will check the ID of the person delivering it so an acceptable form of photo ID will be needed. For more information, go to votetexas.gov and select Voter ID.

Contact the local election administrator to track your ballot. Texas residents who are mailing their ballots from outside the U.S. can track their ballots at votetexas.gov/military-overseas-voters/.
