EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) — The El Paso County Elections Department will begin mailing new voter registration certificates to all registered voters next week, officials announced. <\/p>\n
The certificates are orange and will be valid from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027.<\/p>\n
The department mails new certificates every even-numbered year to all active registered voters.<\/p>\n
You should review the information on their certificate for accuracy and to sign it upon receipt.<\/p>\n
The certificates serve as an informational resource, showing a voter\u2019s precinct and voting districts.<\/p>\n
If any information is incorrect, voters may make corrections on the back of the certificate using the designated lines and return it to the Elections Department with proper postage. <\/p>\n
Replacement certificates will be mailed once corrections are processed.<\/p>\n
The United States Postal Service uses the phrase \u201cReturn Service Requested\u201d to return undeliverable certificates to the Elections Department. <\/p>\n
Voters who receive a certificate for someone no longer living at their address are asked to write \u201cno longer lives here\u201d and return it.<\/p>\n
While a voter registration certificate is not required to vote in person and does not serve as an acceptable form of photo identification, it may be used as a supporting document for those who cannot reasonably obtain an acceptable photo ID. <\/p>\n
Certificates are also valid identification for voters with documented disabilities, indicated by an \u201cE\u201d at the end of their voter ID number.<\/p>\n
Voters who do not receive a certificate by January 30, 2026, are encouraged to contact the Elections Department to verify their registration. <\/p>\n
