2. Bring a valid photo ID: These include a Texas driver’s license, Texas personal ID card, Texas Election ID Certificate, Handgun License, Military ID Card, US Passport, or US Citizenship Certificate. These have to be unexpired OR have less than 4 years expired. If you don’t have any of these documents, you can check other alternatives here.
WHEN and WHERE do I vote?
Voting during the early voting period (from October 13th to October 30th) is extremely easy! If you’re registered, you may vote at ANY early voting location located in your county. Otherwise, during the November 3rd election day, you can only vote at your designated polling place, so don’t wait any longer and vote early! There are TWO early voting places located on the UT campus, one at Gregory Gym and one at the Flawn Academic Center. You can also check your designated polling place and other early voting locations here by entering your information.
