SAN ANTONIO — Friday is the last day to send in your application for a mail-in ballot for the March 1 primary. And recent numbers show Bexar County has rejected nearly 500 applications
So, what should people do to avoid their application from being rejected?
Thanks to new legislation, changes have been made regarding mail-in ballot applications. You’ll have to fill out a new form and meet certain criteria to be eligible.
That includes:
- You will be out of town
- You are 65 and older
- You are sick or disabled
- You may give birth within three weeks of the election
Secretary of State John Scott put out a reminder to voters about new ID requirements. One new requirement is you must put either your driver's license number, or last four of your social security number. Although Scott recommends putting both.
The mail-in ballot applications need to be sent to the Early Voting Clerk at this address:
- Early Voting Clerk, 1103 S. Frio, Suite 200, San Antonio, TX 78207-6328
Here in Bexar County, you can also send in your application via email. If your mail-in ballot application is rejected, the state must let you know. You can call 210-335-VOTE for more information.
