Texas Voters Removed Since 2020
We're Not Going back!
We cannot stand idly by while the conservative government takes advantage of every loophole to obtain and hold power while defending their corporate donors over the best interests of their constituents.
“When we fight, we win!”
But what does that mean? We must make our voices heard and exercise our right to vote, in every single election, from school boards and other local races all the way up to the general election. The old Republican party is gone, taken over by right-wing extremists who have already begun dismantling the civil liberties those before us fought so hard for. They are banning books in schools.
The most powerful thing you can do is to make sure that all of your friends and family are registered to vote, and hold each other accountable to vote in every election. This site (and many others) are dedicated to bringing you the information you need so that your voice can be heard.

Starting 2 days before early voting begins, you can find all of the Early Voting Locations on the Texas Secretary of State website.
October 25 (Friday) - Last day to apply for ballot by mail (received, not postmarked)
Eligibility Requirements
While we can argue about whether this should be the case, in Texas you must meet at least one of the following requirements in order to be eligible to vote early by mail:
- be 65 years or older
- be sick or disabled
- be out of the country on election day and during the period for early voting by personal appearance
- be expected to give birth within three weeks before or after Election Day
- be confined in jail, but otherwise eligible
Are You Eligible?
If you meet any of the requirements outlined above, you can Apply for Ballot By Mail (“ABBM”) at the Texas Secretary of State website. Make sure to carefully read all of the instructions, fill out your form legibly, sign it, and mail it with time to spare.
Where Do I Send The Application?
You MUST send the original, hard copy of your application to your local early voting clerk, even if you send it via fax or e-mail, and the hard copy must be received no later than the 4th business day after it was originally submitted. In other worse, just mail the hard copy unless you’re barely making it by the deadline, and in that case do both… Find your Local Early Voting Clerk’s mailing address, based on your local county, on the Texas SOS website.
Military and Overseas Voters
If you are a military or overseas voter, there are special provisions which you can view on the Texas SOS website.
