Yes, however, your voting options will be different depending on your circumstance. If you are currently registered in Rockwall County, you will have to vote at your previous precinct. If you are currently registered in another Texas county, you will have to vote a limited ballot at the main Early Voting location in Rockwall during the Early Voting time period.

Yes, you can bring any material with you, but please remember to take it with you when you leave the voting station.

A provisional ballot is used when a person presents themselves for voting but due to circumstances, cannot be quickly verified as a qualified voter. It allows the person to vote and gives the Voter Registration office time after the election to verify if the person is eligible to vote. If they are not eligible to vote, it will register them as a voter and they will be ready for the next election.

That will be determined by the Early Voting Ballot Board (EVBB). After the election, the information from the Provisional Voter Affidavit will be looked up by the Voter Registration Office. Depending on 1) the reason you voted by provisional ballot and 2) the outcome of the research by the Voter Registration office, the EVBB will make the decision to count the vote or not. Regardless of the outcome, you will be notified by mail.

Yes, you can vote in this county on a Limited Ballot at the main Early Voting polling location which is located at 915 Whitmore Dr., STE D. Rockwall, Texas 75087 and only during the Early Voting period.

A limited ballot is used when someone is currently registered to vote in another Texas county but has moved to another county. A person is allowed to vote in their new county, but is limited to vote only on the candidates/issues that would have also been on their previous county’s ballot. This will cancel your registration in the previous county and registers you in the current county. A limited ballot may only be voted on at the main Early Voting location and during the Early Voting period.
