Please note: New Texas voting laws went into effect in 2021. Some parts of the law have been challenged in the courts, so the law and how you vote could change. While we strive to keep our voting resources current, you may want to contact your county’s election administrator to ensure you have the most up-to-date information.

For resources for election officials and polling site workers on the rights of voters with disabilities, polling place accessibility, how to interact with voters with disabilities, and more, see our Election Workers Resource page.

Disability Rights Texas employs staff specialists responsible for a wide variety of activities such as training people with disabilities on voting rights, surveying polling places, working with election officials, and responding to legislative inquiries. In addition to these year-round activities, DRTx has a special toll-free Voter Rights Hotline to answer questions, respond to legal violations, and troubleshoot problems. Call 1-888-796-VOTE (8683) for free assistance.

We help ensure that Texans with disabilities can:

• Register to vote
• Access polling places
• Cast a ballot
• File a complaint if excluded from any part of the voting process
