How to vote by mail in 2025

It’s time to send in your application for a mail-in ballot for 2025!  Here’s what you need to know.

 

If you are eligible for a mail-in ballot, you must apply for one EVERY YEAR, a requirement of Texas law.  Even if you had one in 2024, you have to apply again now.

 

Mail-in Ballot Eligibility

You are eligible to vote by mail in Texas if you are registered to vote at your current address and

  • 65 years or older, or

  • sick or disabled, or

  • out of the county on Election Day and during the period for Early Voting, or

  • expect to give birth within three weeks before or after Election Day, or

  • are confined in jail, but otherwise eligible.

 

Mail-in Ballot Application

To vote by mail, you must first apply for a ballot and you must apply through the US Mail.

 

The Denton County Elections office does not send out applications or ballots without a specific request from the voter. Denton Elections must receive your application no later than the close of business 11 days before Election Day. â€‹

Tips for filling out the application:

  • You must be registered to vote at your current address in order to get a mail-in ballot.  If you need to update your voter registration, email rrprecinctchair@gmail.com and ask for help.

  • In Section 1, Voter Information, it’s good to provide all the optional information requested.  If you live in Robson Ranch, your precinct number is 4186 if you live west of Ed Robson Boulevard (Clubhouse side).  It is 4185 if you live east of Ed Robson Boulevard (I35W side).

  • You can find your VUID number on your voter registration card or go to 

www.votedenton.gov/voter-information/voter-lookup/#VoterEligibilitySearch

  • In Section 1, please include both your Texas driver’s license or ID number AND the last four digits of your Social Security number to avoid confusion.

  • In Section 4, Send me a Ballot for the Following Elections, be sure to check the box Annual Application to get ballots for all elections this year.  If you don’t, you have to apply again for each election.

  • You must put a stamp on your application envelope.  Denton County does not pay for postage.
