For the first time, Texans may update voter registration information online. See video on how here. https://lwvhaysco.com/voterregistration (Since the new voter registration forms required for first-time registration are in short supply, we encourage updating your info online.)

Not registered? Plan to register at one of the locations above on January 31. Or fill out a new voter registration application here, print it, sign it, and mail it in.. Qualifications and directions are available here, If you do not have access to a printer, use the Register2Vote option on that page. Just be make sure it is received by the Elections Administrator by 5 p.m. January 31.

Mail it to: Hays County Elections, 712 South Stagecoach Trail, Suite 1012, San Marcos, TX 78666.

Eligible to vote by mail? Age 65 or older or otherwise eligible to vote by mail, apply by February 18 (must be received that day). Download application to vote by mail here: English Spanish See step-by-step video here. Read more. Avoid having your application rejected by filling in as much extra information as you can. Put the last 4 digits of your social security number along with Texas-issued ID (TDL etc.).

Your mail-in ballot must be received by 5 p.m. on Election Day. If you hand-deliver it, it will only be accepted on Election Day, deliver only your own ballot, and be prepared to show your drivers license or other state-issued ID. If you change your mind and decide to vote in person, take the mail-in ballot to the polls with you to be voided. Otherwise you can only vote a provisional ballot which will only be counted if you take the mail-in ballot to the Elections Office, surrender it there, and show them your state-issued ID.
