October 23
You have until October 23 to get your application to vote by mail into (not just postmarked) the county clerk's office. The postal service is currently experiencing delays, so you should get it in the mail as early as possible.
You can also drop off your application in person at any county clerk office locations across Harris County.
October 30
Early voting ends.
November 3
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3 and you can vote at any polling location in your county.
Mail-in ballots must be returned to the county by Election Day. However, if they're postmarked Nov. 3 and delivered by 5 p.m. on Nov. 4, they will be accepted.
Because of a ruling by Gov. Greg Abbott, you only have one place to drop off your ballots before or on Election Day. That location is NRG Arena.
