The Texas Secretary of State’s office reminds all Texas voters to visit www.votetexas.gov for accurate information about where, when, and how they can cast their ballots on Election Day.
First, where you can cast a ballot depends on the Texas county in which you are registered to vote. In counties that participate in the Countywide Polling Place Program (CWPP), registered voters can vote at any polling location in their county of registration. For counties that do not participate in the CWPP, voters must vote in their precinct of registration. Voters who want to know where they can cast a ballot can log in to the Texas Secretary of State’s “Am I Registered?” tool and locate information about appropriate polling locations in their county or precinct.
Voting hours are from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm on Election Day, Tuesday, November 6.
To learn how you will be casting your ballot, visit the “How” page on VoteTexas.gov to familiarize yourself with the voting systems in your county of registration.
Texas voters can always visit www.votetexas.gov or call 1-800-252-VOTE (8683) for more information on voting in the State of Texas.
