​​To vote in any election, (including municipal elections), residents must be registered to vote in the precinct where they reside. In order to register to vote you must be a U.S. citizen and 18 years of age. The application must be received in the voter registrar's office or postmarked 30 days before an election for you to be eligible to vote in that election.

You may also go to www.votetexas.gov and print an application, which can then be mailed to the appropriate county. You are not registered until you have filled out the online application, printed it, and mailed it to your Local County Voter Registrar. The County Voter Registrar's address can be found at the top of the online outputted voter registration application once you have submitted your information from the fill-in-the-blanks screen.​
