Voting guide
2022 General Election
Election Day is Tuesday, November 8, 2022
Vote by mail
New Required Procedure
A new law requires that individuals who vote by mail include with both their application and mail ballot either their:
-
Texas Driver’s License number
-
Texas State ID number
-
Last four digits of their social security number, or
-
Election ID Certificate number
There will be a designated location on the application and the ballot’s carrier envelope where you will include one of those ID numbers.
Important Note: Due to reports of applications being rejected in some counties, we are recommending voters include BOTH the ID numbers of one of the indicated forms (either Texas Driver’s License, State ID number, or election ID certificate if you have neither) and the last four digits of their social security number.
If you didn't receive your ballot for the primary this year, please call us, and we will help you. 512-898-9255.
