Make Sure You Have the Proper ID


Here are the forms of ID accepted at Texas polling places

  • Texas Drivers License issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)
  • Texas Election Identification Certificate issued by DPS
  • Texas Personal Identification Card issued by DPS
  • Texas Handgun License issued by DPS
  • United States Military Identification Card containing the person’s photograph
  • United States Citizenship Certificate containing the person’s photograph
  • United States Passport (book or card)

If you are between the age of 18 and 69, you can use an acceptable form of ID, even if it is expired, as long as it hasn’t been expired for more than 4 years before the date you present it at the polling place. The only exception is the U.S. Citizenship Certificate, which does not expire.

If you are 70 or older, your acceptable form of photo identification may be expired for any length of time if the identification is otherwise valid.

You can obtain an Election Identification Certificate from DPS driver license offices, or find mobile station locations here.

If you don’t have one of the forms of acceptable photo ID and cannot reasonably obtain one, then you can present one of the following supporting forms of ID at the polling place. You’ll also need to sign a Reasonable Impediment Declaration at the polling place.

  • copy or original of a government document that shows the voter’s name and an address, including the voter’s voter registration certificate;
  • copy of or original current utility bill;
  • copy of or original bank statement;
  • copy of or original government check;
  • copy of or original paycheck; or
  • copy of or original of (a) a certified domestic (from a U.S. state or territory) birth certificate or (b) a document confirming birth admissible in a court of law which establishes the voter’s identity (which may include a foreign birth document).

What About Voting By Mail?


The last day to apply to vote by mail was October 28.
If you are voting by mail, your ballot must be received by your county clerk by the time polls close on Election Day, November 3.

In order to be eligible to vote by mail you must be one of the following:

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

If you plan to vote by mail, you must apply for a ballot. Follow these instructions.

Also, be aware that due to demand, mail-in ballot applications should be completed as soon as possible to guarantee that you receive your ballot and can return it in time for election day.

If you are attending college or university away from home, but claim residency where your parent or guardian lives, you can also vote early by mail.

You can request an early voting ballot be sent to where you will physically be at election time (i.e school) following these instructions.
