Since Texas does not allow online voter registration, you will have to fill out and mail your registration form.

1. Print this form and fill it out.

• If you are residing on campus, use your SU Box number and then the address of the university. (EX: SU Box #1234, 1001 E. University Ave, Georgetown, TX 78626.)

2. (Optional) If you are low-risk for COVID-19, consider being a poll worker! Learn more here.

3. Mail your registration form to your county voter registrar. You can find a list of registrar addresses here.

4. Congratulations! You are now ready to perform your civic duty. Take the next step by looking for a polling place near you, and consider voting early! Prepare a valid form of identification to bring it with you to the polls. 

If you now reside in a new county, you MUST re-register completely.

1. Print a new voter registration form here.

2. Mark "Change of Address, Name, or Other Information" on your form and fill it out with your new address.

3. (Optional) If you are low risk for COVID-19, consider being a poll worker! Learn more here.

4. Mail your registration form to your county voter registrar. You can find a list of registrar addresses here.

5. Congratulations! You are now ready to perform your civic duty. Take the next step by looking for a polling place near you, and consider voting early to lessen lines on Election Day! Prepare a valid form of identification to bring it with you to the polls.  You can sign up for election reminders here.

If you need to change your address, but you still reside within the same county, you can EITHER:

• Correct your new address on the back of your voter registration certificate and mail it to the county registrar.

OR

• Change your information online at the Secretary of State’s Voter Registration Name/Address Change website. Any changes you make will be forwarded to your county Voter Registrar.  They will then mail you a new certificate with updated information. Find out more here.

In order to request an absentee (mail-in) ballot, you must meet any of the following criteria as set forth on the Texas Secretary of State's website:

• be 65 years or older;

• be disabled;

• be out of the county on election day and during the period for early voting by personal appearance; or

• be confined in jail, but otherwise eligible.

Please be aware that  Texas officials are currently rejecting large numbers of applications for mail-in ballots (click here to read more from NPR). Texas SB1 requires that "people provide either a partial Social Security number or a driver's license number on their application for a mail-in ballot — and that number has to match the identification on their voter registration... Thus, voting groups are advising people ahead of the primary election in March to fill out both their Social Security and driver's license numbers on their application."

If you qualify for an absentee ballot, you can:

1. Print the application here OR request an application for an absentee ballot online here to have an application mailed to you.

2. Fill it out and mail it back to the Early Voting Clerk in your county. Contact information for Early Voting Clerks is available here.

3. Congratulations! Once you receive your absentee ballot, you will be ready to perform your civic duty! Fill out your ballot carefully and mail it as soon as possible to ensure that your vote is counted.

NOTE: You can also submit the application by fax or email, but the original, hard copy of the application MUST ALSO be mailed and received by the early voting clerk no later than the 4th business day after it was originally submitted.

We are aware of the changes to absentee ballots made by the new Texas legislature voting law, and will adjust our guidance as new information is released. Voters may need to provide additional identifying information to certify their absentee ballots.
