EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — El Paso County voters have several deadlines to keep in mind ahead of the Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026 general election.

The last day to register to vote or update voter-registration information for the election is Monday, Oct. 5.

Residents can check their registration status through the El Paso County Elections Department’s voter portal.

Early voting in El Paso County is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 19, through Friday, Oct. 30.

The county’s Elections Department will publish the official early-voting locations and hours, along with Election Day voting centers, closer to the election.

Voters who plan to cast a ballot by mail must meet Texas eligibility requirements.

The application for a ballot by mail must be received — not merely postmarked — by Friday, Oct. 23. Completed ballots must generally arrive by 7 p.m. on Election Day, though limited exceptions apply to ballots postmarked by Election Day.

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3. Polling locations will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eligible voters who are in line by 7 p.m. may still vote.

Texas voters are asked to bring an approved photo identification document, such as a Texas driver license, Texas personal ID card, U.S. passport or military ID. Voters who cannot reasonably obtain one of the approved photo IDs may be able to use an alternate procedure with supporting documentation.

The ballot is expected to include federal, state and local contests, as well as any qualifying local measures. Voters can review their personalized ballot, voting location and election notices through the El Paso County Elections Department before heading to the polls.
