The deadline to register to vote in the 2018 Texas midterm elections is Feb. 5.
Texans who are U.S. citizens and will be 18 years old by March 6 can register to vote for the primaries. Voters who have previously registered do not need to register again unless they have not voted in the past four years, changed permanent residences, their name or political party.
Voters can register to vote in person at the voter registrar’s office in their county or by mail. Voting applications can be found at high schools, government offices, libraries or on the Texas Secretary of State’s website.
Voters who will not be in their county of residence on Election Day or during the early voting period can request a ballot by mail. Applications to receive a ballot by mail can be found online on the Texas Secretary of State’s website. These applications must be received by county voter registrar offices by Feb. 23.
