Voting Assistance & Access

Language Access:

Under Texas law, anyone providing assistance to a voter — either with voting by mail or in person — must fill out a designated form (which will either be included with the mail ballot or provided at the polling place) disclosing whether they received or accepted any form of compensation or benefit from a candidate, campaign, or political committee for providing assistance and must also sign an oath.
Your ballot should be written in Spanish as well as English. In some areas, the ballot may be also available in other languages.
Other voting materials and instructions should be posted in Spanish as well. If you do not see them, simply request those from the worker when you check-in.
If you prefer to communicate in Spanish and your polling place doesn’t have a worker who speaks Spanish, call 844-TX-VOTES to let us know so we can try to get a Spanish-speaking worker there next election.
You are allowed to bring an assistant or interpreter of your own choosing to the polling place. You are not required to use the polling place’s designated assistant or interpreter.

A voter can receive assistance from a person of his or her choosing and that assistance is not limited to marking or reading the ballot or otherwise limited to conduct that happens in the voting booth.
While you can receive assistance from a person of your choosing, that person cannot be your employer or an agent of your employer, nor can you receive assistance from an officer or agent of a labor union that you belong to.
Under Texas law, anyone providing assistance to a voter — either with voting by mail or in person — must fill out a designated form (which will either be included with the mail ballot or provided at the polling place) disclosing whether they received or accepted any form of compensation or benefit from a candidate, campaign, or political committee for providing assistance. The person providing assistance must also sign an oath of assistance.
Your polling place should be physically accessible and have accessible equipment that allows you to vote privately and independently.

If you are physically unable to enter the polling place, you have the right to vote curbside.
Your polling place must provide a reserved area for curbside voting. The designated area will display a sign that provides a phone number to allow you to request curbside voting assistance. If someone has accompanied you to the polling place, they can also go inside and let the poll worker know there is a curbside voter outside.
You can ask an election worker to bring you a ballot or voting machine (depending on what is in use at your polling place) to the entrance of the polling place or to a car parked at the designated curbside voting area.
If no one comes out to allow you to curbside vote, please call 844-TX-VOTES and we can assist you.

If you have questions or would like to report a problem, please call 844-TX-VOTES for assistance in English or Spanish.

- For Arabic, call 844-YALLA-US.
