Can Texans drop off their mail ballots at these early vote locations?
If yes then Abbott's decision to limit drop boxes is just plain stupid and served only to inflame Democrats in big cities.
Why do you refer to them as drop boxes?
If you have an unvoted mail ballot, you can take it to an early voting site and surrender your ballot and vote in person.
If you have a voted mail ballot you can take it to a post office and drop it in the mail.
Or you can... drop off your ballot at a drop box. Just because you got your ballot by mail doesn’t mean you need to return it by mail.
Texas doesn't have drop boxes.
Under Texas statute you may take your mail ballot to the early voting clerk on election day and after showing an ID, hand it to them. This would mainly be for those concerned that their ballot might not get postmarked if they put it in the mail.
For this year, Governor Abbott extended the time period to the early voting period.
