- Can I Hand Deliver my Mail-In Ballot?
For Travis County voters, the only location open for hand delivery of mail-in ballots is 5501 Airport Blvd, Austin, TX, the Travis County Clerk's main business office.
Drop off hours: 
Saturday, October 31,    7:00 AM - 7:00 PM

It is important to note that this is not drive-through voting, which is not an option in Travis County.
The requirements for hand delivery of mail-in ballots are as follows:
· Voters may only hand deliver their own carrier envelope.
· Voters will be asked to present an acceptable form of ID.
· They will be asked to sign a signature roster.
· They will then deposit their mail-in ballot into a ballot box.

Under Texas law, ballots may only be hand delivered to locations where the County Clerk conducts regular business. 
Texas State Election Law does not allow for drop-boxes and mail-in ballots should not be dropped off into any drop-box. This is not an option in Texas and mail-in ballots will not be counted if they are dropped off this way. Mail-in ballots must either be mailed back 9/14/2020 or hand delivered to one of the four hand delivery locations. (Texas Election Code 86.006).​
