Every call, every conversation, every hour volunteered comes down to today. If you have not voted yet, make your plan and go vote. Dallas County voters can cast a ballot at any Vote Center countywide.

If you already voted, help bring one more person with you. Text a friend. Call a family member. Remind someone their vote still matters.

If you are in line by 7 PM, stay in line. You have the right to vote.

Let’s finish strong.

Forward Together,

Where ANY Vote Center in Dallas County — countywide voting is

in effect

In line by 7 PM? You have the right to vote. Stay in line.

Find your nearest Vote Center: DallasCountyVotes.org

Bring ONE acceptable photo ID:

Texas Driver License, Personal ID Card, Election ID Certificate, or Handgun License
U.S. Passport, U.S. Military ID with photo, or U.S. Citizenship Certificate with photo

Most IDs may be expired up to four years. No photo ID? You can still vote by signing a Reasonable Impediment Declaration and showing a utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, or government document with your name and address.

HOLDING A MAIL BALLOT? ACT NOW

If you have a mail ballot you have not returned, today is your last chance — and the safest way to make it count is to hand-deliver it.

Hand-deliver it yourself to the Dallas County Elections Office by 7:00 PM today. You must bring photo ID, and you may deliver only your own ballot.
Do not drop it in a mailbox now. Under current USPS rules, a ballot mailed today may not be postmarked today — and an untimely postmark means it will not count.

You may bring written notes and a printed sample ballot into the booth.
