STEP 1: Determine when to vote
You can vote early from Tuesday, October 13, 2020 – Friday, October 30, 2020 or you can vote on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, 2020. On election day, Polls open 7am to 7pm.
If you’re older than 65, disabled, or expect to be out of the county on Election Day, you can also vote early by mail. For more information, contact your county’s elections office.
STEP 2: Make sure you have the correct ID to vote
Texas law requires you to present a photo ID such as your Texas driver license, Texas personal identification card, or passport in order to vote. Your ID must be current or expired by no more than four years. Additionally, free Election Identification Certificates are available from DPS driver license offices.
If you’re unable to obtain any of the approved forms of ID due to a “reasonable impediment or difficulty,” there are additional options to help you cast your ballot, including your voter registration card, paycheck, or utility bill.
STEP 3: Determine where you will vote
It depends on where you live. Below you will find information for Travis, Williamson, and Hays counties. If you live in another county, visit your county’s elections website to view a list of voting locations.
