What to bring

Texas requires one of seven accepted photo IDs to vote in person, according to KPRC 2. The list includes a Texas driver's license, personal ID card, handgun license, Election Identification Certificate, U.S. passport, U.S. military ID with a photo, or U.S. citizenship certificate with a photo. The full requirements are available at VoteTexas.gov.

Expiration rules matter. Voters ages 18 to 69 can use an accepted ID expired by no more than four years. Voters 70 and older can use one expired for any length of time.

No photo ID? You may still vote.

Voters who do not have an accepted photo ID and cannot reasonably obtain one may fill out a Reasonable Impediment Declaration (RID) at the polling place and present a supporting document such as a utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or voter registration certificate. Copies or originals are accepted.

A small name difference between an ID and a voter's registration does not automatically block voting. Election workers can determine whether names are "substantially similar" and have the voter sign an affidavit.

If your name isn't on the voter list

Ask a poll worker for help before leaving. Workers can check whether the problem is clerical or registration-related. If registration cannot be verified, voters who believe they are eligible can request a provisional ballot.

A provisional ballot does not guarantee a vote will count. Voters who cast one because of a missing ID must resolve the requirement with the county voter registrar within six calendar days after Election Day.

Check registration and get help

The Oct. 5 registration deadline has passed. Voters can verify their status at VoteTexas.gov. For Galveston County registration questions or provisional-ballot follow-up, call 409-766-2280.

Jessica Rivera Pace with the League of Women Voters of Houston told KPRC 2 that voters have protections if they encounter problems. "Your right to vote is protected at the federal and state level," Rivera Pace said.

Voters may bring printed notes or a marked sample ballot into the booth. Phones may be carried but cannot be used in the voting room.

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, with polls open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
