You are eligible to request an Application for Ballot by mail if you are qualified to Vote in Texas and fall under one of the following reasons:

  • Disability
  • Expected absence from the county - You will receive a ballot for the upcoming election and its resulting runoff if your dates of absence from the county include both elections

Military & Overseas Voters

The Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) is a form provided by federal law to permit members of the U.S. Armed Forces and Merchant Marines, their dependents, and U.S. citizens abroad to vote early by mail and, if necessary, to temporarily register to vote.

Eligibility

You are eligible to vote early with an FPCA if you are qualified to vote in Texas and one of the following:

* Federal law defines “overseas” as anywhere outside the United States. If you are not one of these voters, you need the regular early voting by mail procedure.

  • I am on active duty in the Uniformed Services or Merchant Marine or I am an eligible spouse or dependent
  • I am a U.S. citizen living outside the country, and I intend to return
  • I am a U.S. citizen living outside the country, and my intent to return is uncertain (Federal Ballot Only)
  • I am a U.S. citizen living outside the country, and I have never lived in the United States


Please visit Vote Texas for more information about FPCA's.

If you cannot vote by mail, make sure to wear a mask, treat other voters with kindness, even though they might be voting differently than you; and show appreciation for the poll workers, many of whom are older.  They are taking great risks to keep democracy running.
