Election
BY SHELBIE HAMILTON & ALEX REECE
During uniform election days in Texas, which are held twice a year in May and November, eligible residents are given the opportunity to vote at a polling site or via a mail-in ballot. Both voting methods require presentation of a valid and approved form of identification, according to the Texas Secretary of State’s website. When voting in person, eligible voters not in possession of an allowed form of identification can request a provisional ballot and follow associated processes to cast their vote.
