How can I check if my voter registration information is up to date?
You can check your registration status and voter information through My Voter Dashboard on our website.

You will need to enter your first name, last name and date of birth, or your Voter Unique Identifier (VUID), which can be found on your voter registration certificate.

How can I change my address or name?
If you recently moved or changed your name, you can update your voter registration information online through www.votetexas.gov.

You can also update your information by completing a voter registration application.

My record has a suspense status. What now?
If your voter registration record shows a “suspense” status, or you are directed to contact our office, it means our office received information indicating that you may no longer live at the address listed on your voter registration record.

Being on the suspense list does not mean you cannot vote. You can still vote in person. Before voting a regular ballot, you will be asked to complete a Statement of Residence.
