1. Who can vote by mail?

You are eligible to vote early by mail if you are a registered voter who is:

• 65 years of age or older
• Out of the county during the entire election (must provide out of county address)
• Sick or disabled
• Confined in jail, but eligible to vote

Please note that only voters who are disabled or 65 years of age or older qualify for an annual application, all other voters must submit an application for each election.

2. How do I get a ballot?

To vote by mail, you must first apply for a ballot. The Andrews County Elections Department does not send out applications or ballots without a specific request from the voter. We must receive your application no later than the close of business 11 days before election day.  If the deadline falls on a weekend, the last day to submit an application is the preceding Friday. If the deadline falls on a state or federal holiday, the application must be received on the preceding business day.

Mail your application for a ballot to:
Bobi Parker, Elections Administrator
P.O. Box 7
Andrews, TX 79714

Fax your application for a ballot 432-524-1451.

Email Bobi Parker with your application for a ballot.

We can accept an application in person directly from the individual voter only before early voting begins.

3. How soon must I return the ballot?

We must receive your marked ballot by 7 pm on election day!

Please note that pursuant to House Bills 1151 and 929 (2017), different deadlines apply to the last day to receive ballots sent by the following:
