The November 3 election will have a dramatic effect on disability rights and services at the local, state, and national levels for the next decade.
The DISABILITY VOTE can influence the outcome of this election. It is in our interest to support candidates – regardless of which party they represent – that support policies and funding that promote our ability to be included in our communities like every other Texan!
The COVID 19 pandemic poses unique challenges to the DISABILITY COMMUNITY. Do we go to the polls and possibly confront long lines? Or do we use the mail-in ballot process (for the first time for many of us)? The controversy about mail-in ballots adds another level of confusion.
REV UP Texas’ I VOTE EARLY campaign encourages eligible voters to use the mail-in ballot. But if you want to go to the polls, vote during the EARLY VOTING period. (See In-Person Voting below.)
>>REGISTER TO VOTE

>>VOTING BY MAIL
- To request a mail-in ballot, click here.
- To be sure that your mail-in ballot WILL BE COUNTED, you must fill it out and mail it the day you get it – or the next day at the very latest. If you can hand-deliver your ballot, that’s even better. But you MUST deliver it by October 12.
>>IN-PERSON VOTING
Early Voting Dates: October 13 – October 30
General Election: November 3
- Because of COVID-19, many counties are having a hard time finding poll workers. This may cause counties to consolidate or eliminate polling locations.
- If you find long lines when you go to vote in person, there are laws that may allow you to get preference.
- Contact your county for voting locations. Click here to find contact information for your county election official.
