Registering to Vote With Special Circumstances

Have More Questions?

  • Voters who are College Student

    Students must decide where to register to vote.



    You have a right to register to vote at the address you consider the place where you live, whether that is your family’s home or the place where you attend school. You should update your registration anytime this home address changes.



    You may only be registered and vote in one location.

  • Voters Experiencing Homelessness or Without a Permanent Address

    When filling out the voter registration form, it’s best to list the street address of an agency or shelter where you receive services in the Residence Address section.


    If that isn’t an option, you may list a location such as a park, street corner, or marina where you regularly stay instead of a traditional home address.


    For the Mailing Address, you can use a P.O. Box (if you have one) or the address of a shelter or agency where you can receive mail. If neither is available, you may arrange for General Delivery through the U.S. Postal Service and use that as your mailing address.


  • Voters Whose Identity Needs to Remain Confidential

    Voters who are Victims of Domestic Violence, Assault,Stalking, or Peace Officers & Certain Government Personnel:


    Under the Texas Election Code, a voter’s name, date of birth, and voter identification number are public information. The elections in which a person voted are also public, but how they voted remains private.


    Some individuals may qualify for address confidentiality, including certain occupations (such as peace officers) and victims of specific crimes (such as domestic violence or stalking). To receive this protection, eligible individuals must apply through the appropriate program, agency, or department and submit the required documentation.


    For more information about voter confidentiality options including the Alternate Address Program, confidentiality for peace officers and other government personnel, confidentiality affidavits, protections for victims of certain crimes, and the Attorney General’s Address Confidentiality Program see the Texas Secretary of State’s pages on Address Confidentiality and the advisory on Registering a Voter who is Part of a Confidentiality Program.

  • Voters with a Past Felony Conviction

    In Texas, a convicted felon regains the right to vote after completing his or her sentence or what is known as "off paper." Therefore, once you have completed the punishment phase (including any term of incarceration, parole, or supervision, or completed a period of probation ordered by the court), you may register to vote if otherwise eligible.

  • Naturalized Citizens

    Naturalized Citizens have the right to vote and fully participate in our democracy.


    Some naturalized citizens who register to vote may receive a letter from their county voter registrar requesting confirmation of their citizenship. If you receive one of these letters, contact your county voter registrar to learn how to submit a copy of your naturalization certificate or U.S. passport.
