DALLAS (CBSDFW) – Early voting begins in Texas Monday.
You can download a ballot and mail it in or find your early voting location online through the Texas Secretary of State's website.
The early voting period runs from October 24 to November 4, 2016.
Registered and eligible voters may vote at any early voting location located in the county of residence.
Voters must present one of seven acceptable forms of photo identification. Some examples are a Texas driver's license, a U.S. military identification card, a U.S. passport or a Texas license to carry a handgun.

Secretary of State Carlos Cascos earlier this month announced Texas set a record for statewide registered voters at more than 15 million. That means nearly 78 percent of the state's estimated voting age population of 19.3 million has registered.

Of course, you can also still vote the old-fashioned way at the polls on Election Day, which is Tuesday, November 8.
