Completing and Submitting an Application for Ballot by Mail (ABBM)

You may send in your application for a ballot by mail to the Early Voting Clerk by:

In-person delivery (by voter only);
Regular Mail;
Common or contract carrier; or
Email *

*If you submit your application by email, you must mail us the hard copy with an original signature within four (4) business days. Emailed applications are simply “place-holders”.

Voters have to provide either their Texas Identification, TXDL, EIC number; OR the last four digits of their Social Security number on both their ballot application and carrier envelope. We strongly recommend putting both numbers.
Important Note: The Number you provide on the application must match your Voter Registration Record, otherwise your application will be rejected. (That's why we strongly recommend putting both numbers!)
Pregnant women expected to give birth within three weeks before or after Election Day may now vote by mail.
Voters may only hand deliver their own ballot application to the County Clerk’s Office.
