Key tips for your Mail-In Ballot

• Personal ID Number: There were several changes made in 2021 with our election laws. One of the new requirements is that you must include an ID number on the mail-in ballot application. This can be your Texas Driver's License number, your Personal ID number, or the last four digits of your Social Security Number. The vast majority of registered voters in Texas have both numbers on their voter registration record, but if you are unsure which number to put you are able to put both just to be safe. The law only requires that one of the numbers matches a number on your voter registration record. Remember: you will need to put this ID number on your application as well as your ballot carrier envelope.
  
  
• Ballot Carrier Envelope: Once you complete your ballot, put it in the white secrecy envelope and place it in the return ballot carrier envelope. Do not seal the envelope yet.

There are several pieces of information that you must provide on your ballot carrier-envelope before you seal the security flap. Just like you did on the application, you must put an ID number your Texas Driver's License, Personal ID number, or the last four digits of your Social Security Number in the space provided under the security flap of the envelope. These numbers are required in order for your vote to count.

After you fill this part out, you seal the envelope. The flap protects your personal information as it goes through the mail!

Be sure to sign the carrier envelope. If an assistant or witness helped you with the ballot and carrier-envelope, they must fill out the section of the envelope with their information completely.

• You can correct your ballot. In the past, if you made a mistake when voting by mail, your ballot was rejected, with few — if any — opportunities for a second chance. With the new laws, you have the ability to correct a problem within six days after Election Day.

Adding a phone number or e-mail address to your carrier envelope is the best way for county officials to contact you regarding any issues with your ballot. The Early Voting Ballot Board will reach out if you provide your contact information on your mail ballot materials.

One of the challenges in the March election was many voters forgot to provide a personal ID number on the carrier in the March election. Correcting this is as easy as:

• Going to your elections office to certify your ID information within six days after Election Day; or
• Going to votetexas.gov, and click ‘Track My Ballot’ to confirm your ID information within six days of Election Day

Before you head to the polls, take a moment to get familiar with what’s on your ballot.

Remember, what you see on your ballot will depend on your home address and may include elections for San Antonio Mayor, City Council, and Alamo Colleges District Bond. Preview a sample ballot ahead of time to make voting easier and less stressful.

What you see on your ballot will depend on your home address and may include runoff elections for Districts 1, 6, 8, and 9.
