*Registering to Vote

Please be aware, you cannot register online to vote as a Texas resident. If you completed a form online, you will still need to print out the form, sign it, and mail it in to your county's election office.

Check Dallas County's voter registration webpage for more information and for alternative ways to register. https://www.dallascountyvotes.org/voters/registration/register/

However, you may opt-in to register to vote if you are renewing your ID, replacing your ID, or updating the information on your ID online. Find more information here: https://www.votetexas.gov/register-to-vote/update-voter-registration.html

*Already Registered? Check Your Status Here: https://teamrv-mvp.sos.texas.gov/MVP/mvp.do

*Recently Moved? Questions About ID?

Do your best to make sure that you are registered to vote in the county you currently reside in and your registration information matches the information on your ID. It doesn’t mean you won’t be able to vote, but I would try to do this to eliminate any complications with voting.

• Acceptable Forms of ID and FAQs: https://www.votetexas.gov/mobile/id-faqs.htm
• 1. My name on my approved photo ID or my supporting ID (if applicable) does not exactly match my name on my voter registration card. Can I still vote?
  2. Election officials will review the ID and if a name is “substantially similar” to the name on their list of registered voters, you will still be able to vote, but you will also have to submit an affidavit stating that you are the same person on the list of registered voters.
