The answer: You can get a ballot by mail for the upcoming election, but you need to be eligible.
According to Texas Secretary of State Ruth R. Hughs and VoteTexas.gov, in order to become eligible for voting by mail, you must meet one of the following:
- be 65 years or older
- be disabled
- be out of the county on election day and during the period for early voting by personal appearance
- be confined in jail, but otherwise eligible
If you meet one of the above, you may submit an online request on the Texas Secretary of State website to have an application mailed to you, or you can print out the form by clicking here.
Instructions on how to fill out your ballot by mail request can be found here.
