Polling site can't find your registration? You can cast a provisional ballot.

(This video has no sound.) Attention Texas voters! You may have heard of issues lately with the statewide voter registration database and its potential impact on this year’s election. Keep watching to learn what you need to do if you are impacted. And even if these problems are worked out by the next election, you’ll still want to learn what to do if there is a problem with your registration in the future. So here’s what’s happening. Updates with our state’s system have caused some unintentional delays in processing voter registration applications. This is unlikely to affect most voters, but the first thing everyone should do is check your voter registration status at: votetexas.gov If your registration is NOT up to date, especially if you know you submitted a new application this year, you should get in touch with your local elections office, and they should be able to provide you with more information. But you should ALSO be prepared to cast a provisional ballot when you go to the polls. Remember, you always have the right to vote provisionally if you can’t cast a regular ballot for any reason. The process for provisional ballots is similar to regular voting, but you’ll have to fill out some additional paperwork. Then, depending on the issue, the elections office will verify your eligibility and determine whether or not your ballot will be counted, or you may be required to bring in additional documentation within 6 days after Election Day. If you have to vote provisionally, you should immediately contact your county’s elections office to learn what steps need to be taken to be sure your ballot is counted. Again, it varies depending on the reason, but for a voter registration issue, the county and state should have that information on file, provided that your application was complete and received on time.
