Ballot by Mail
In Texas, in order to vote by mail, a voter must have a qualifying reason.
A voter may vote early by mail if they:
-
will be away on Election Day & during early voting;
-
are sick or disabled;
-
over 65 on Election Day; or
-
are confined in jail, but eligible to vote.
-
within three weeks of childbirth <= Election Day
One of the grounds for voting by mail is disability. The Election Code defines “disability” to include “a sickness or physical condition that prevents the voter from appearing at the polling place on election day without a likelihood of needing personal assistance or of injuring the voter's health.” (Sec. 82.002). If a voter believes they meet this definition, they can submit an application for ballot by mail.
