It’s easy to vote in Texas. Following are the abbreviated steps. For more detailed information, simply go to the section that’s referenced.

1. Step One: Register! — Pick up a Voter Registration Application at your library, post office, any government office, major grocery stores, or download one from this site. Mail your completed application to the Voter Registrar in your county (postage free) allowing eight weeks for processing, but no fewer than 30 days to be eligible to vote in the election.

2. Where, when, and how to vote. — You’ll be mailed a Voter Registration Certificate or card with your name, address, and the number of the precinct in which you’ll vote. (A precinct is a geographic area in your county.) Check your local newspaper on the Saturday before the election for the address of the polling place for your precinct and, on election day, arrive there between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. to cast your ballot. Show your Voter Registration Card or a valid I.D., (a Texas driver license, for example) to the election official and, depending on the type of voting machine they use, they’ll provide you with a paper ballot or, for an electronic voting machine, a number or ballot activator card that enables you to vote on the machine. Easy, right?
