Form Aw5-36a Federal Post Card Application (Fpca) Forwarding Form (Page 2 of 2) in pdf

Instructions to Forwarding Official:

1) If you receive an FPCA from a voter, make a determination whether the voter is registered in any of the

political subdivisions noted in Texas Election Code Section 101.054 (county, city, or school district).

County Early Voting Clerk: Check your county voter registration records to determine the city and

school district in which the voter is registered, if any.

School District Early Voting Clerk: You may need to check with local county voter registrar(s) to

determine in which county and city (if any) the voter is registered.

City Early Voting Clerk: You may need to check with local county voter registrar(s) to determine in

which county and in which school district (if any) the voter is registered.

2) Send a copy of the voter’s FPCA, along with this form, to each of the other applicable early voting clerks, as

follows:

County Early Voting Clerk: Send the form and a copy of the FPCA to the city secretary of the city in

which the voter is registered (if any) and to the secretary of the school board for the school district

in which the voter is registered (if any).

School District Early Voting Clerk: Send the form and a copy of the FPCA to the city secretary of the

city in which the voter is registered (if any) and to the appropriate County Early Voting Clerk.

City Early Voting Clerk: Send the form and a copy of the FPCA to the early voting clerk of the school

district in which the voter is registered (if any) and to the appropriate County Early Voting Clerk.

3) You do not need to forward more than one FPCA submitted by a voter in a given calendar year to the other

early voting clerks, unless information on a subsequently submitted FPCA is different from the original

FPCA.

4) If a subsequently submitted FPCA has different information from the original FPCA, send the subsequently

submitted FPCA to the appropriate early voting clerk(s). Make an attempt to highlight the altered

information on the subsequent FPCA by noting the updated or altered information in the checkboxes

provided on the form.

5) You may forward this form and the accompanying copy of the voter’s FPCA by hand, regular mail, common

or contract carrier, fax, or email.

6) Keep in your file for this voter a copy of this form (and any subsequent forms sent to the appropriate early

voting clerks), along with the original FPCA(s) submitted by the voter, so that if you receive multiple FPCA’s

from a single voter in a calendar year, you are able to determine whether you have already forwarded a

copy of the voter’s FPCA to the applicable early voting clerks and whether it is necessary to forward any

subsequently submitted FPCA, due to a change in the information on the subsequently submitted FPCA(s).
