where to vote texas

You can find exactly where to vote in Texas by using the state’s official “My Voter Portal” and your county election office; these two sources together will give you your correct early voting and Election Day polling places.

Key places to check

  • Texas “My Voter Portal” :
    • Go to the Texas Secretary of State’s voter portal (search “Texas My Voter Portal”).
    • Enter your name, county, date of birth, and ZIP code to confirm your registration and see your polling place for Election Day and available early voting locations in your county.
* Locations usually appear about two days before early voting starts and two days before Election Day.
  • County elections website :
    • Each of Texas’ 254 counties runs its own elections and publishes polling place lists and maps.
* Search “YourCountyYourCountyYourCounty Texas elections office” (for example, “Tarrant County elections office”) to see current vote center lists, maps, and any local rules.

Early voting vs. Election Day

  • Early voting:
    • If you are registered and voting early, you can vote at any early voting location in your county of residence.
* Early voting locations and hours are listed in the My Voter Portal and on your county’s elections website.
  • Election Day:
    • If your county uses countywide vote centers , you can vote at any vote center in your county on Election Day.
* If it does **not** use vote centers, you must vote at the specific precinct polling place assigned to your address, which is shown in My Voter Portal and in county lists.

Timing for 2026 elections

  • Texas has statewide primary elections scheduled for March 3, 2026, with early voting currently planned for February 17–27, 2026.
  • Special or local elections (like runoffs for specific districts) may also happen on other dates, so always check My Voter Portal and your county site before you go.

What to bring when you go

  • Bring an acceptable photo ID (for example, Texas driver’s license or other accepted forms listed by the state), since you must present ID at the polling place.
  • Many nonpartisan groups, such as local Leagues of Women Voters, also provide sample ballots and prep guides to help you know what is on your ballot before you go vote in person.
