Where do I go and when do I go there?

​

If you're voting early (before election day, November 3), you can vote at any of the voting places listed here. Be sure to check the dates & times before you go. You can see the places on a map here.

​

If you're voting on election day, November 3, you MUST vote at your designated place. You can find your correct voting place by going to this link, clicking the "selection criteria" box on the right-hand side, and inputting either your VUID, your Texas Driver's License, or name + county + date of birth. Please note that if one of these doesn't work, another might work. Then, click on the voting date on the right side of the screen to see your voting place.

Do I need ID? What kind?

 

For more information in English and Spanish, click here.

 

Bring one of the following kinds of ID:

​

  • Texas Driver License issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)

  • Texas Election Identification Certificate issued by DPS

  • Texas Personal Identification Card issued by DPS

  • Texas Handgun License issued by DPS

  • United States Military Identification Card containing the person’s photograph

  • United States Citizenship Certificate containing the person’s photograph

  • United States Passport (book or card)

​

With the exception of the U.S. Citizenship Certificate, for voters aged 18-69, the acceptable form of photo identification must be current or have expired no more than 4 years before being presented for voter qualification at the polling place. A person 70 years of age or older may use a form of acceptable photo identification that has expired if the identification is otherwise valid.

What can I bring, wear, or do while voting?

This is a summary. You can see the full list of guidelines from Harrison County in English and Spanish here.

​

  • DO NOT wear clothes or items visibly supporting any candidate, party, or measure within 100 feet of the voting place. This is called "electioneering" and is illegal within that space.

​​

  • DO NOT express a preference for any candidate, party, or measure within 100 feet of the voting place. That's also "electioneering."

​​

  • DO NOT use wireless communication devices or recording devices within 100 feet of a voting place. This includes cell phones, cameras, tablets, laptops, sound recorders, or anything that communicates wirelessly. (If you have a disability that requires you to use such a device, the election officials at the voting place may allow you to use them.)

​

  • DO NOT bring a firearm, even if you are licensed to carry. It's illegal unless you're a licensed peace officer.

​​

  • DO NOT use sound amplification devices within 1,000 feet of a voting place.

​

  • DO NOT try to get people to sign any petition within 100 feet of a voting place.

​

  • You CAN bring written materials with you, like a note or sample ballot to remind yourself who you plan to vote for. However, showing this material to other people within 100 feet of the voting place could be considered electioneering, so don't do that.

​​

  • We ENCOURAGE you to wear a mask or face covering while at the voting place. However, Governor Abbot's executive order mandating face coverings does not apply to people in the act of voting, so voters will not be turned away for not wearing a mask.

 

Do you have more questions about what you can or can't do at a voting place? Let us know and we'll try to find the answer for you!
