If you are already registered in another Texas county but currently reside in Brazos County (we’re looking at you, college students), you may qualify for limited voting. This shorter ballot includes only races that appear on both counties’ ballots, usually statewide races. It will not include local races from the county where you are registered or local races in Brazos County. Limited voting is only available during the early voting period (Oct. 19-30) at the Brazos County Elections Administration Office. If you’d like to vote for Brazos County races, update your registration address by Oct. 5.

What to know before you go:
- Watch this YouTube video to learn how to use an electronic voting machine.
- Bring an acceptable form of photo identification. Review Texas voter identification requirements.
- Silence and put your phone away before you enter.
- A poll worker will check you in, assign you a code for your on-screen voting and give you a blank paper ballot that will create a backup record of your selections.
- You will be directed to an available electronic voting booth where you will type in your code, insert your blank paper ballot and then follow on-screen instructions. Your votes will then be printed on the paper ballot.
- Next, you’ll take the paper ballot and insert it in a second machine that will record a backup copy of your selections. That will complete your voting experience.
