If you weren't one of the 4.8 million Texans who voted early, you may be wondering where and how to vote on Tuesday.
I Haven't Voted Yet and I Have Questions
First, let's find out if you're registered. The Texas Secretary of State's website VoteTexas.gov will not only show you your current registration status but it'll show you your current precinct and polling location -- where you go to vote.
If you aren't registered, you can register at VoteTexas.gov for the next election -- but unfortunately, you won't be able to vote Tuesday.
To check your status, you'll need to login to obtain that information and that can be done in one of three ways -- with a Texas driver's license and your date of birth; with your name, county and date of birth; or with VUID (Voter Unique Identifier) and date of birth.
Where Do I Go to Vote?
Use your address to search our Voter Information Tool below -- it will show your polling place (where you go to vote) and what races should be on your ballot.

What Time Do the Polls Open/Close?

When Will Results Be Available?
Election results will begin coming in shortly after the polls close at 7 p.m. It's worth remembering that Texas spans two time zones, so not all polls will close until 7 p.m. MT/8 p.m. CT.
