What ID to Bring
Texas asks in-person voters to show one of seven approved photo IDs, according to VoteTexas.gov:
- Texas driver license
- Texas Election Identification Certificate
- Texas personal identification card
- Texas handgun license
- U.S. military ID card with your photo
- U.S. citizenship certificate with your photo
- U.S. passport (book or card)
If you’re 18 to 69, your ID can be expired for up to four years. If you’re 70 or older, it can be expired for any length of time as long as it’s otherwise valid. The citizenship certificate doesn’t expire.
No approved photo ID and no reasonable way to get one? You can still vote by showing a supporting document, such as your voter registration certificate, a utility bill, a bank statement, a paycheck or a certified birth certificate, and signing a Reasonable Impediment Declaration at the polls. VoteTexas.gov has the full list.
What You Can Bring Inside
You can bring a printed sample ballot or a handwritten list of your choices to use as a reference. Leave the list on your phone at home, though: Midland County Elections Administrator Rosa Olgin told KOSA that phones aren’t allowed in the room where voting takes place. VoteTexas.gov covers the rest in what’s allowed at the polling place.
Are You Registered?
The deadline to register for the Nov. 3 election has passed. You can check whether you’re registered, and where, with the state’s Am I Registered? lookup. If you live near the county line and aren’t sure whether you vote in Midland or Ector County, the Midland County Elections office can look up your address for you at (432) 688-4890.
Voting by Mail
If you’ve already applied for a mail ballot, you can follow its status with the state’s Ballot by Mail tracker. For questions about returning your ballot, contact the Midland County Elections office.
What’s on the Ballot
This is a general election, so the ballot includes statewide races such as governor and U.S. Senate, along with local contests. KOSA reported that the local contests include Midland ISD trustee seats in Districts 3 and 5, three Midland Central Appraisal District board seats voted on countywide, and a Midland County Utility District bond. Some Odessa city propositions appear only on ballots for Odessa residents.
Your ballot depends on where you live. Look up yours on the county’s sample ballot page before you go.
