Early voting in Harris and Fort Bend counties brought record turnout, but there is one more day to cast a ballot for the 2018 midterm elections on Nov. 6.

Fort Bend County residents can vote at any polling location, but Harris and Waller county residents must vote at their assigned locations.

If you are unsure of your polling location, there are a few resources available:

To vote, citizens must present an acceptable form of photo identification.

Here is a list of the acceptable forms of photo IDs:

  • Texas driver license issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety, or DPS.

  • Texas election identification certificate issued by DPS.

  • Texas personal identification card issued by DPS.

  • Texas handgun license issued by DPS.

  • U.S. military identification card containing the person’s photograph

  • U.S. citizenship certificate containing the person’s photograph

  • U.S. passport, book or card


If you do not possess and cannot reasonably obtain one of those IDs, you will need to fill out a Reasonable Impediment Declaration form at the polling location and show a copy of supporting documents, such as a utility bill, bank statement, or paycheck.
