Llano County uses the Hart Verity Duo.

The equipment is manufactured in Pflugerville, Texas and sold nationwide.  This is a hybrid system that combines an electronic ballot marking device with a voter verifiable paper trail (VVPT).  Voters will vote on an electronic device and receive a hard copy ballot with their selections listed for their review.  Once voters are satisfied their selections are correct, the voter will scan the ballot which records their vote.  This hard copy ballot will be available to elections workers if a recount is required.

For more information, please call us at 325-247-5425.

Vote by Mail (Application for Ballot by Mail): First day to file for Absentee Ballot or FPCA is January 1.

Last day to apply for a Ballot by Mail – October 27, 2023 (must be received by this day, NOT postmarked)

Application for a Ballot by Mail (ABBM)- If you are voting early because of an expected absence, you may apply in person for a ballot by mail before the early “voting in person” period begins (usually the 17th day before the election). If you are voting by mail because you are disabled or are 65 years of age or older, you may use a single application to request ballots by mail for all county elections in the calendar year. To do so, simply mark “Annual Application” on your application for a ballot by mail when selecting the election for which you are applying.

If you are voting in a political party’s primary election, you MUST check which party’s primary you are voting in to receive the correct primary ballot.

Click Here for an Application for Ballot by Mail – - Once you have completed the form, please mail it to:
Llano County Elections Office
P.O. Box 787
Llano, Texas 78643

You are eligible to vote early with a FPCA if you are qualified to vote in Texas and you are:

• Active duty military, spouses, and dependents (voting from outside the home Texas county)
• U.S. Citizens (nonmilitary) temporarily overseas* away from the home Texas county
• U.S. Citizens (nonmilitary) permanently overseas* away from the (previous) home Texas county
• Members of the merchant marine, spouses, and dependents (voting from outside the home Texas county)
• Members of the Texas National Guard, spouses, and dependents (voting from outside the home Texas county)
• Members of a National Guard of another state, spouses, and dependents (voting from outside the home Texas county)
• Members of the military reserves on active duty, spouses, and dependents (voting from outside the home Texas county)
  

Federal law defines “overseas” as anywhere outside the United States.
            If you are not one of these voters, you need the regular early voting by mail procedures.

What does the FPCA form do?

• Registers you onto the permanent voter rolls 30 days after receipt by the county (unless voter marks indefinitely away / do not intend to return)
• Functions as an application for ballot by mail and gives you temporary registration status for certain offices
• If voter marks indefinitely away (older form) / do not intend to return (newer form), voter receives federal ballot only

When is the FPCA deadline?

• General rule: deadline is the 11th day before Election Day (earlier is recommended)

Click here to print and fill out the FPCA application - Once you have completed the form, please mail it to:
Llano County Elections Office
P.O. Box 787
Llano, Texas 78643

Military and overseas voters are welcome to use the regular registration and early voting by mail process available to all voters away from their home county on Election Day. However, there are also special provisions for military and overseas voters.
