As you probably already know 2024 is an election year, and if you're voting by mail in Texas you'll want to request an absentee ballot soon.
Texas voters can request their absentee ballots starting January 1st. But not all Texans are eligible to vote by mail. To be eligible you have to be 65 years old or older, be sick or disabled, be out of the country during the election, be jailed - but not convicted of a felony, or be pregnant and expected to deliver three weeks before or after Election Day.
Eligible voters can download an application online from their county election's office or the secretary of state’s office. You can print the form yourself or submit an order online to have one mailed to you.
You have until February 23 to request an absentee ballot and you have to be registered to vote by February 5, 2024.
Early voting in Texas runs from Feb 20th thru March 1. Election day is March 5th.
