Vote absentee

Texas permits all registered voters to vote early (absentee) in person. Qualified voters may vote by mail. To vote early by mail, send your request for an absentee ballot to your county clerk or elections administrator so that it is received between 60 and 7 days before the election. Early voting in person is generally available from 17 days to 4 days before the election. Check with your county clerk or elections administrator for early voting in person locations.
