All you need is a Texas Driver&#8217;s license to get started.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>How do I register to vote?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nYou can register in person at your county Voter Registrar&#8217;s office. You can also register by mail by obtaining an application from your county Voter Registrar&#8217;s office or pick up applications at libraries, government offices, or high schools. The last day to register to vote in the March 6th Primary is February 5th.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>When Texans register to vote, do they register for a certain party?<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nNo. There are only registered voters in Texas. There is no party registration.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Can any registered voter vote in any primary election?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nYes! Texas has an open primary, meaning anyone can cast a ballot in the primary of their choice, regardless of whether you&#8217;ve voted in that party&#8217;s primary before or not. Republicans can vote in the Democratic primary. Democrats can vote in the Republican primary. You can only vote in one primary, however.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>If I don&#8217;t vote in the Primary, can I vote in the Primary Run-off?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nOnce you&#8217;ve voted in a party primary, you can vote in only that party&#8217;s run-offs. If you skip the primary, you can vote in either party&#8217;s run-offs, but you cannot cross over in the run-offs. If you vote in the Republican primary, you can&#8217;t vote in the Democratic run-off, and vice-versa. How and whether you vote in a primary and run-off has no bearing on how you must vote in the November general election.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>How do I find my polling location?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nEarly Voting: Registered voters may vote at ANY early voting location located within your county of residence.<br \/>\nElection Day: On Election Day, you can vote ONLY at your assigned voting precinct.
