List: Mail-in ballot drop off locations by county

Here's where you can deliver your mail-in ballot ahead of the Nov. 3 election.

AUSTIN, Texas — Ahead of Election Day on Nov. 3, voters have the option to deliver their mail-in ballots to one location per county. This is due to a proclamation announced by Gov. Greg Abbott on Oct. 1 to enhance ballot security protocols.

As of Oct. 9, there had been at least four lawsuits – three in federal court and one at the county level – challenging Gov. Abbott's order. 

As of Oct. 18, here is where you can drop off your mail-in ballots in Travis, Williamson, Hays and Bastrop counties if you are concerned about mailing them.

Bastrop County

Bastrop County has extended its hand-delivery period for vote-by-mail ballots. You can deliver your own personal ballot to the Bastrop County Elections Department during regular business hours any time after you receive and mark it. 

And on Election Day, you can hand-deliver your ballot between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. You'll be asked to present an acceptable form of photo ID when you arrive at the address below.

  • Nov. 3: 7 a.m. - 7 p.m.
