What You Need to Bring

When heading to the polling place, voters must bring acceptable forms of identification. These include a Texas driver’s license, Texas Election Identification Certificate, Texas personal identification card, Texas handgun license, U.S. military ID card, U.S. citizenship certificate, or U.S. passport.

Registered voters can cast their ballots at any polling site during the early voting period. For those unsure of their registration status, online tools are available to check registration.
