TEXAS ELECTION SYSTEM
Early Voting – October 20 (Monday) to October 31 (Friday); Election Day – November 4 (Tuesday) from 7 am -7 pm.
The 2025 Texas elections will involve voting on Propositions and special local elections.
Early Voting locations are designated by your County Elections Office. In smaller counties, there is generally one early voting location per county. In larger counties such as Harris County, there may be up to fifty early voting locations.
Your Election Day Voting location is at a different on the basis of your “voting precinct”—your residential address. How do you find out the precinct you are registered in? And where do you vote within your precinct?
You may look it up your up on your registration card (left side of card is Prec. No. #) or look it up on the Texas Secretary of State’s website under “Am I registered? “.
Upon entry to the site, you will be asked for your Voter Registration Number or your Texas Driver’s License # AND your Date of Birth. You will, if already registered, receive your unique “Voter Information” with your precinct number and your polling address.

Second, if you know you are registered, check your Voter Registration for any changes in county, name, and/or residential address. Your registration information, and your picture identification card must match.
- If you have moved to another county, your voter registration must be up-to-dated.
- If your property is split between two counties, the county on which your residence is located is designated your county.
- If your residence is split between the two counties, you choose the county in which you want to register and pay taxes.
Third, confirm that your current Driver’s License or ID Card match your Voter Registration Card. At your polling location, you must present your legal photo ID. Don’t leave home without it!
The last day you can register to vote in the 2024 General Election is Monday, October 6, 2025.
Although there are no primaries in the 2025 Propositions election, there are primaries for special local elections.
In Texas, voting is by county, and each county has an election office. There are 254 counties in Texas, and each county is divided up into voting precincts. During early voting, you vote at your county designated Early Voting location, and on Election Day you vote at your Precinct location. Lost?
In the recent past, as many as 90 percent of the voters go to their Early Voting place on “Election Day”—only to find they must vote at their Precinct location. After waiting in line to vote, the polling clerk scans the voters photo ID and determines they are at the wrong voting location.
” You must go to your precinct to vote.” The voter’s response is, “Well, where is my precinct?” At that time—with lines of voters waiting—the clerk informs you as to your precinct location and directions on how to get there. So, many if not most of the people in line are at the wrong location.
When told of their misunderstanding, the aggravated voters depart and either race to their precinct location OR simply give up and go home. What a tragedy. Could this not be avoided?
At your County Election Office, the officials are happy to provide: (1) precinct information, (2) precinct location, (3) voting dates, (4) voting hours, and (5) a sample ballot — in advance of the elections. They are there to help you!
Note: If you show up at the last minute on Election Day and there is a line, you cannot be sent away if you arrive before the poll location closes. The line is cutoff at that time, and those who arrived prior to closing may remain to cast their vote—even if the line wraps around the polling place, even if it takes another hour. So, if you have the patience, your vote will count.
Avoid confusion and last-minute aggravations. Don’t wait until the last moment!
The Texas 2025 Propositions will be published by the Secretary of State around August 2025 and will be on posted on this site shortly thereafter.
In the 2023, the Texas House of Representatives passed H.B. 1243 to increase the penalty for voter fraud from a Class A Misdemeanor to a State Felony. Voter fraud can involve multiple voting by one person. It can involve forged or stolen identification. It can involve non-citizens voting. It can involve one individual casting questionable multiple ballots
If convicted of “attempted voter fraud”, a person can now be charged with a State Felony involving a term in prison. Convictions may result in 180 days to 2 years in jail for attempted fraud!
The penalty for “serial voter fraud”, the person, persons, or organization’s actions are “very serious”. Conviction involves a 2nd Degree Felony which likely will result in 2 to 20 years in jail AND possible fines of up to $10,000.
