US Citizens can vote in elections. However you have to register to become eligible to vote. You can go to your local court house to register to be a voter, at least one month before election. You will receive a voter’s certificate (yellow card) after your registration mailed to you. Please DO NOT DISCARD THIS CARD. IT IS YOUR VOTE RIGHT PROOF.
You may vote without your certificate by showing another form of identifications. If you lose your certificate, you may request a replacement certificate by contacting the voter registrar.
If you registered to vote by mail, and you have never voted in a federal election in Texas, you must present a form of identification in addition to your voter registration certificate. Call one of the numbers on the reverse of the registration certificate for information about acceptable forms of identification.
You will receive a new certificate every two years as long as your voter registration is not cancelled under some provision of the law. Voting by use of this certificate by any person other than the person in whose name this certificate is issued is a felony.
If you move within the county, you must transfer your registration to your new address after you move. You may vote a full ballot at your previous precinct if your registration has not become effective in your new precinct. Before you are allowed to vote in the previous precinct, the election judge will ask you to fill out a statement of residence confirming your new address in your new precinct.
