ENDORSEMENTS | NOV 4 GENERAL ELECTION | EARLY VOTING LOCATIONS

Voter ID

The Texas Voter ID law was briefly overturned over the weekend, but on appeal to the 5th Circuit Court, it's been reinstated and will be in effect for this election. So...

To vote in the upcoming election, you must have either:

• a Texas driver's license or ID card

• a passport

• a U.S. Military photo ID

• a U.S. Citizenship or Naturalization Certificate with photo, or

• a concealed handgun license

This ID must be current, or have expired after Sept. 6.

Texas residents who have none of those can get a free Election Identification Certif­i­cate (EIC) at any Texas Driver License office. Applicants must bring a valid voter registration card, plus proof of U.S. citizenship and identity. (For most people, that means a certified birth certificate, and one other form of official ID such as a social security card, military ID, expired driver's license, school records, car registration – there's a long list at www.dps.texas.gov/driverlicense/eicdocreqmnts.htm if you're uncertain.) The EIC is free, and is valid for six years, or forever for those over 70, or maybe just until Texas' voter ID law is overturned for good. You'll get a photo receipt at the office that's valid immediately; the card itself will be mailed to you.
