Will I receive a mail ballot application if I applied for one in the past?

What are the new ID requirements?

Which form of identification should I use?

The identification you provide on your mail ballot application must match what is on file in your voter record. If the ID you provide does not match what is on file, your application will be rejected, meaning you will receive a letter of explanation along with a new application that you must fill out and return before the mail ballot application deadline.

Failure to provide an exact match on the application to what is on your voter record could result in a rejection of the application, meaning voters will need to return a corrected mail ballot application before the mail ballot application deadline.

How can I avoid delays in receiving my ballot?

• Call Harris County Elections at (713) 755-6965. The voter services team is dedicated to walking voters through the process of filling out applications. There are operators who are fluent in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Chinese.
• Provide both forms of ID. Even though the form only asks for one, the best way to ensure an application isn’t rejected is to provide both a Texas ID and the last four digits of your Social Security Number.
• Provide a contact email or phone number on your application so our team can immediately reach out and address any issues with the application to minimize potential delays.
