1. In order to vote in McLennan County, you need to be over the age of 18, a US citizen, and not currently serving time for a felony conviction, including parole (if you are off papers, then you are eligible to vote again). You have a couple of options to get registered:

   • Come to our office at 6801 Sanger Ave, The Executive Plaza building suite 240, between the hours of 10:00 am and 2:00 pm on Tuesday and Wednesday, or by appointment (call 254-301-7648), to meet with a deputy voter registrar about getting registered.

   • Go to the McLennan County Elections Office at 214 N 4th St #300 between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, to get registered

   • There is no online voter registration in Texas. However, you can visit Register2Vote.org to fill out a form online and have it mailed to your home address. All you will have to do is sign it, date it, and send it back with the prepaid postage

Bring one of the following items to your polling place:

• TX Driver’s License issued by the Department of Public Safety

• TX concealed handgun license issued by the Department of Public Safety

• TX Election ID Certificate issued by the Department of Public Safety

• US passport book or card

• Don’t have a photo ID? You can still vote!

  • If you’re a registered voter but do not possess one of the documents listed above, don’t worry, you can still vote a regular ballot! Here’s how:
    Sign a declaration stating that (1) you are who you say you are at the voting booth and (2) have a reasonable impediment or difficulty for having an accepted photo ID, and (3) provide: a valid voter registration certificate, or a certified birth certificate (must be an original); or a copy or original of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or government document with your name and an address thereon (a government document with your photo must be original).

In McLennan County, we have Vote Centers, which are places that any registered voter in McLennan County can go to vote. To take a look at all the different voting centers offered, click HERE.

Since the 2020 election cycle, there is no more “straight ticket voting” in Texas. You will now have to individually pick every single candidate on the ballot. With this in mind, we highly recommend you vote as early as possible and that you familiarize yourself with the ballot. Click HERE to see who you will be voting for.

Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. We're here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving.
