A voter qualifies as disabled if they believe that their physical condition is such that “in-person voting will cause a likelihood

  • f injury” to their health. Pregnant women are also covered in

the disability category. The Texas Supreme Court ruled last week that a lack of immunity to COVID may be considered as a factor in determining whether in-person voting creates a “likelihood of injury” to the voter’s health, but it can’t be the sole factor. It is the responsibility of voters to make their own health determinations, and the County Clerk’s Office does not have the authority to question the voter’s judgment.1 If the voter fills out a vote-by-mail application and indicates

  • ne of the four grounds under which they would be eligible to

receive a ballot by mail, the Clerk’s Office must accept that application as-is and send the voter a ballot.
