On Nov. 3, 2026, voters in Montgomery County, Texas, head to the polls for the midterm elections. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., requiring residents to cast ballots at specific precinct-designated locations.
Texans are heading to the polls on Nov. 3 to decide a slate of federal, state, and local midterm contests. For voters in Montgomery County, participating in this election cycle requires attention to specific administrative rules regarding where and how ballots must be cast.
Unlike counties that operate under vote center models allowing residents to cast ballots at any location within county lines, Montgomery County voters must head to the exact polling station designated for their specific precinct. Voters can locate their assigned station using the Am I Registered portal provided on the Texas Secretary of State’s website. Voting locations operate from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day.
Acceptable Photo Identification Rules for Voting in Texas
In-person voting in Texas requires presenting an acceptable form of photo identification. The state recognizes seven primary forms of identification issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) or federal authorities, including a Texas Driver License, a Texas Election Identification Certificate, a Texas Personal Identification Card, a Texas Handgun License, a United States Military Identification Card containing a photograph, a United States Citizenship Certificate with a photograph, or a United States Passport.
For voters between the ages of 18 and 69 who possess an acceptable photo ID, the document must be current or expired for no more than four years. Voters aged 70 and older face more flexible guidelines, permitted to vote using a photo ID expired for any length of time provided the identification remains otherwise valid.
Individuals who do not possess an acceptable form of photo identification and cannot reasonably obtain one may present supporting forms of identification. These alternatives include a certified domestic birth certificate, current utility bills, bank statements, government checks, paychecks, or government documents showing the voter’s name and address.
