You can check your voter registration status here. You need a combination of (1) your Voter ID number or Texas Driver’s License number with date of birth, or (2) your name, county of residence, and date of birth.

You can fill out a registration application online, but an original application with a physical signature must be printed and mailed to your local county voter registrar or the secretary of state’s office.

You can also call the statewide Voter Registration Office at 210-335-VOTE (8683) and request a voter registration application with pre-paid postage be mailed to you. You may also find physical voter registration applications at libraries, government offices, local schools, or with volunteer deputy voter registrars.

Note: If mailing your application, please abide by the recent USPS update to its Domestic Mail Manual effective December 24, 2025. All mail received is postmarked on the date it is processed at a regional facility, not on the date it is dropped in a mailbox or collected.

You must turn in your registration application on or before Thursday, April 2nd.

If you moved to a different county, yes. If you moved to a different address within the same county, no, but you should update your address online before the registration deadline. You can also request a voter registration application, make note of your new address, and mail it to the Voter Registration Office. Be sure to update your registration if you have recently changed your name as well (ex: if you recently changed your maiden name).

When a person submits a voter registration application, county and state officials verify the person’s eligibility using various sources, including birth and death certificates. Local election officials ensure the submitted address is a residential location within the county. Registered voters are sent a registration certificate within 30 days. Voters receive a new certificate if they update their name or address. Otherwise, voters are sent a new certificate every two years.

If a county voter registrar receives a non-deliverable notice after sending a voter registration certificate or receives information that there’s been an address change, a voter is placed on the state’s ‘suspense list’ and asked to confirm their address. Sometimes this can be due to errors at the post office or when a jury summons doesn’t go to the proper address and is returned.

Voters on the suspense list can still vote if they update or confirm their address before the voter registration deadline or fill out a ‘statement of residence’ when voting. But if they have moved to a different county or precinct, they may have to vote at their previous polling location or vote a limited ballot. 

If a suspended voter takes no action, they are removed from the voter rolls. This is why voters are encouraged to double check their voter registration status before the deadline.

Contact the Wise County Voter Registrar. If you arrive to the polls and believe you should be registered but don’t appear on the voter registration list, you can cast a provisional ballot. There’s no guarantee that a provisional ballot will ultimately be counted. The best bet to ensure you don’t have problems is verifying your registration is active and up-to-date ahead of the registration deadline.

Your local voter registrar must review the provisional ballot and verify your registration within six days of the election. The registrar then passes that information to the local ballot board, which decides whether the provisional ballot is eligible to be counted. Provisional voters must be sent a notice about whether their ballot was counted no later than 10 days after the election.

You need to provide one of the following seven forms of identification:

• Texas Driver License issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)

• Texas Election Identification Certificate issued by DPS

• Texas Personal Identification Card issued by DPS

• Texas Handgun License issued by DPS

• United States Military Identification Card containing your photograph

• United States Citizenship Certificate containing your photograph

• United States Passport (book or card)

If you don’t have one of the seven forms of identification listed above and can’t reasonably get one, you can also bring one of these:

• A copy or original of a government document that shows your name and an address, including your voter registration certificate

• A copy of or original current utility bill

• A copy of or original bank statement

• A copy of or original

• Day government check

• A copy of or original paycheck

• A copy of or original of (a) a certified domestic (from a U.S. state or territory) birth certificate or (b) a document confirming birth admissible in a court of law which establishes your identity, which may include a foreign birth document.
