Register to Vote
Complete the official Texas voter-registration application. You must print and sign it, then mail it or deliver it in person. Completing the form online does not register you.
Because the deadline is approaching, personally delivering it to the Elections Office is the safest option. If hand-delivered, you must deliver it yourself—no one else can do it for you.
Deadline to register for early voting and the November 3 election: October 5, 2026.
