If you are 65 or older, do your part to flatten the curve at the polls! Many voters will still have to go in person regardless of whether vote by mail is expanded. Protect those voters and poll workers braving the pandemic for the sake of democracy. Apply as soon as possible to alleviate the pressure on election day.
Those eligible to vote by mail include those who are:
- 65 years or older
- Sick or disabled
- Out of the county during early voting and election day.
- In jail but otherwise eligible to vote
- Legally, a county must RECEIVE your application for ballot by mail by October 23rd for the 2020 General Election. However, the U.S. Postal Service strongly recommends a voter to apply ASAP and no later than October 14th. Since county election administrators send out the first round of mail-in ballots 30-38 days before the election, Texas Impact would recommend a voter mail an application to vote by mail before September 21st.
- When casting a mail-in ballot, the U.S. Postal Service recommends a voter mail the ballot by October 27. Texas Impact would recommend having the ballot in the mail ASAP. If a voter cannot mail a ballot until after October 27, then Texas Impact would recommend taking your mail-in ballot to the early voting clerk of your county in-person with valid voter ID. By proclamation, the Governor has extended the days a voter may cast a mail-in ballot in-person with the early voting clerk to any day prior to and including Election Day.
