RegistrationTexas Secretary of State lists Monday, October 5, 2026, as the last day to register to vote for the November 3, 2026 general election. I did not find a different official deadline for this election, so I am using the Secretary of State’s election calendar date.Official details ↗

Early votingEarly voting in person runs Monday, October 19, 2026 through Friday, October 30, 2026. Texas SOS says the general rule is that early voting happens during that window, with voting hours set by local election officials within state law. The state page also notes that counties may use Saturday and Sunday voting during the early voting period, but local schedules can vary.Official details ↗

Absentee or mailTexas allows voting by mail only for voters who meet a state excuse. For the November 3, 2026 general election, the Texas SOS deadline to receive an application for ballot by mail is Friday, October 23, 2026. The ballot return deadline is 7:00 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, 2026, if the envelope is not postmarked, or 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, if it is postmarked by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day. I am not inferring any other deadline.Official details ↗

What may still change

I could not verify any statewide Texas ballot measures certified for the November 3, 2026 general election from the official Secretary of State materials I reviewed. The Secretary of State’s 2026 ballot certification PDF I found is a candidate certification report, not a ballot-measure certification list, and it contains no proposition text in the searchable results I checked. The official Secretary of State election page for November 3, 2026 links to candidate certification and sample ballot materials, but I did not find a separate official statewide ballot-measure list for that election.
Because I did not find a verified official statewide ballot-measure certification source, I am not listing any ballot measures here. That means no measure has been included unless I could confirm it directly from official records, as requested.
If you want, I can continue and look specifically for a Texas constitutional-amendment proclamation, ballot-language PDF, or voter guide page that may list certified statewide propositions.
Texas election rules can depend on the voter’s status and location, especially for military and overseas voters.
I used the Texas Secretary of State election calendar and dates page. If a county sets additional local early-voting hours or sites, those local details can change the day-to-day schedule.
The mail-ballot return deadline can differ for overseas or military voters.
I did not infer deadlines beyond the dates published by the Texas Secretary of State.
