Specific local ballot measures or bond propositions will be determined closer to the election date. Texas offers limited mail-in voting, restricting absentee ballots to voters who are 65 years or older, disabled, out of the county during the entire early voting period and on Election Day, or confined in jail but eligible to vote. Qualified voters can request an Application for Ballot by Mail from the Garza County Clerk or download it from the Texas Secretary of State website. The application must be received - not just postmarked - by the Garza County Clerk no later than the close of business on the 11th day before Election Day. Voted mail-in ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and received by the Garza County Clerk by 5:00 PM the day after Election Day, or hand-delivered to the Garza County Clerk's office by 7:00 PM on Election Day. Texas does not offer no-excuse mail-in voting, meaning most voters must cast ballots in person during either early voting or on Election Day.
