There are 2 key items you need to take to the voting booth:
First, take a valid form of ID.
The acceptable forms of voter ID are: 1. Texas Drivers License 2. Texas Personal Identification Card 3. Texas Election ID Certificate 4. Texas Handgun License 5. US Citizenship Certificate with Photo 6. US Military ID Card with Photo 7. US Passport (Book or ID) If you are age 69 or younger on Election Day, any of the acceptable forms of voter ID can be expired up to four (4) years as of Election Day (expired more recently than November 3, 2016). If you are 70 or older on Election Day, your ID can be expired for any length of time.
It’s ok if the address on your Drivers License does not match your registered address, though as a precaution you should take a utility bill or other official mail with your name and address matching your registered name and address.
Next, print out our Election Guide for your county. Because there is no straight ticket voting this election, you must select a specific candidate name for each office all the way down the ballot. This guide provides a complete list of Democrat candidate names and the offices they are running for to help you in this process as well as helpful info you may need at the polls such as a help hotline. Cell phones are not permitted to be on in the polls so print the Election Guide for your county and be sure to take it with you.
Other recommendations you may consider for Covid safety: bringing your own marking instrument such as a pen, pencil with eraser, or stylus to use when checking in to vote and for marking your ballot, wearing latex gloves and bringing your hand sanitizer to the polling location to use after leaving the polling locations, wearing an appropriate face mask over your nose and mouth at the polling.
