All currently registered voters of Parker County that are eligible may request a by-mail ballot.  The following are the criteria:

• Expected absence from the County during both the early voting period and election day. The ballot must be mailed to an address outside the county.
• Disability
• 65 years of age or older
• Confinement in jail and not finally convicted of a felony

The request must state the address at which you are registered to vote, one of the above conditions for requesting a ballot, the address to which you want the ballot mailed, and your signature. If the ballot is not to be mailed outside the County and not to the address at which you are registered, you must give an explanation as to the address such as nursing home, hospital, etc. Applications must be received by this office no later than close of business on the 11th day before election day. All voted ballots that are returned on or before 7PM on Election Day will be counted. Those received by 5PM the next business day after Election Day may be counted if they are postmarked by 7PM Election Day.
