Vote by Mail

Voting by Mail

In Texas, in order to vote by mail, a voter must have a qualifying reason. A voter may vote early by mail if they:

*are 65 years of age or older on Election Day
*Disability (as defined in Texas Election Code 82.002 (a)
*are expecting to give birth within three weeks before or after Election Day
*Expected Absence from the County during Early Voting and on Election Day
*are confined in Jail or Involuntary Civil Commitment

One of the grounds for voting by mail is disability. The Election Code defines “disability” to include “a sickness or physical condition that prevents the voter from appearing at the polling place on election day without a likelihood of needing personal assistance or of injuring the voter’s health.” (Sec. 82.002). Voters who meet this definition and wish to vote a ballot by mail must submit an application for ballot by mail.

If you e-mail your application, your application will be considered complete and timely as long as the original is received by the early voting clerk by the fourth business day after it was submitted by e-mail.
