   What if I moved since the last time I voted?

   If you are already registered to vote in Texas and have moved, you may update your voter registration online.

   If you live in the same county and missed the voter registration deadline, you may return to your old precinct to vote, but you will be required to complete a statement of residence confirming your new address in your new precinct.

   If you moved to a new county and missed the voter registration deadline, you may be eligible to vote a limited ballot at your county’s main voting location during the early voting period. The limited ballot application will also act as a voter registration application. You may NOT vote a limited ballot on Election Day.

6. 06

   Are there accessibility accommodations at my polling place?

   Texas was the first state to require that all new voting systems be accessible to voters with disabilities.

   Each polling place will offer at least one type of accessible voting equipment. This equipment allows voters with disabilities to vote directly on the system or assist them in marking the paper ballot. Depending on the type of system, voters with disabilities may use headphones or other assistive devices to help them vote independently and secretly.

   To determine if accessible machines will be available or to request an accommodation, contact the early voting clerk of the county or political subdivision holding the election at least 21 days before the election.
