Early voting in Texas primary election: What to know before casting your ballot
Things can quickly become overwhelming, so here's everything you need to know in order to cast your vote:
What do I need to vote in Texas?
Voters must present an approved form of photo identification to poll workers at any location. A list of acceptable forms of identification can be found here.
Can I vote by mail?
Only certain groups of people are allowed to vote by mail in Texas. They include those who are:
65 years of age or older on Election Day
Sick or disabled (as defined in Texas Election Code 82.002(a)) “I affirm that I have a sickness or physical condition that prevents me from appearing at the polling place on election day without a likelihood of needing personal assistance or of injuring my health.”
