Who Is Eligible To Vote?

The short answer: All U.S. citizens, who will be at least 18 by Election Day are eligible to register to vote. But there are a few exceptions.

To be eligible to register to vote in Texas, a person must be:

• A resident of the Texas county where the application of the registration is made
• Not finally convicted of a felony, or, if so convicted must have (1) fully discharged the sentence, including any term of incarceration, parole, or supervision, or completed a period of probation ordered by any court; or (2) been pardoned or otherwise released from the resulting disability to vote; and
• Not determined by a final judgment of a court exercising probate jurisdiction to be (1) totally mentally incapacitated; or (2) partially mentally incapacitated without the right to vote.

Am I Registered?

If you're not sure if you are registered to vote, visit the state's online database. Additional information is available on the Texas Secretary of State's votetexas.gov site.

How do I Register?
